The subway-like trains would continue to Grand Central of course. A 2-track platform there could be dedicated as their terminus. The point is to provide subway-type service from central north Bronx to midtown along the MNRR ROW. The "subway" service would not "take over" the outside tracks. Since the subway-like service would only run 4 tph (unless it became wildly popular), regular MNRR trains could continue to use the outside tracks. I recognize capacity issues would have to be addressed. MNRR does not fully utilize the 4-tracks on the Marlem line. If it did, there would be no room south of 149th St. for the trains that merge into those 4 tracks from the Hudson line. thus, the real capacity issues would be south of that point. These might be solved by sending some Hudson and New Haven trains to Penn Station if the Penn Station Access Project is ever accomplished. |
