Posted by Michael549 on Fri Oct 19 11:00:56 2007, in response to Re: No 75 Foot Cars To Essex Street, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Thu Oct 18 20:14:55 2007. From a previous message: "And again, even without that, why would they not design the Chrystie cut that was built in the 60's, when they were purchasing 75 foot cars, and converting the system to be able to handle 75 foot cars and still planning to one day do the Eastern Division too; why would they build that cut to not handle it? It wouldn't make sense!"Imagine that the Chyrstie cut, the tunnels for the K-train, and the tunnel and station for the B and D trains wee indeed able to accommodate 75-foot cars. The passageway for N and Q trains able to handle 75-foot cars. Imagine that for a K-train, 75-foot cars can make it all of the way to and can enter the Essex Street station. Imagine that since the other parts of the line, the pathway over the Williamsburg Bridge, various curves along the J-M-Z route were built at a very early period some of these sections (one section or more) can not accommodate 75-foot cars - it would then make sense to not allow 75-foot trains to use the K-tracks of the Chrystie Street cut. Not because the cut can not allow such trains but due to the fact that other areas of the route can not. Just a thought, Mike |
