Posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Sun Dec 23 20:37:56 2007, in response to Re: (G) cut from Queens Boulevard, posted by trainsarefun on Sun Dec 23 18:37:57 2007. Why doesn't a combination of (a) and (b) work to turn most 2 and 3 trains at Brooklyn College, with their remainder plus 4 and 5 trains being turned on the other branch?Because you'd inevitably run into one or more of these problems: a) still having the merge with the local at Rogers, before the Flatbush branch has diverged b) the fumigation of trains in the eastbound express platform of Utica Av station; there isn't even any way of switching the follower onto the local until after the station c) massively overserving New Lots* * along with gaps in the Lex Express service, unless platform extensions over the tracks were built at Nostrand Av and at Kingston Av, this too presuming that Flatbush could handle the entire 7th Av Express service. Yes, it sucks, but any solution is going to be some sort of construction project. |
