The Rutgers Tunnel can handle the same amount of trains as the rest of the F/V-route.Why would anyone build a subway route where there is a drastic reduction in capacity in this case a subway tunnel? The builders of the IRT subway lines overall built their lines so that a train could pass once every 2 minutes, or 30 trains per hour in 1904. Why would the builders of the IND subways years later build in a lower capacity? The article in the Brooklyn Paper would be just the tip of the ice-berg if F-train service in Brooklyn was compromised in any way that the riders felt a reduction in service. I would love to see an express service along the Culver line, but I understand the political dynamics involved. That is why I suggest the plan proposed in a recent message. I fear that any plans that result in a reduction of service to politically connected folk will be killed. No matter the pretty maps folks get upset when their train service is cut. Mike |
