"There are not wall to wall people along Q.B. waiting for a V train to the city in the evening."

Wrong on Friday and Saturday....

"Food for thought: How is it that freight railroads are able to route mile long trains along large sections of single trackage with limited passing siding (approx. 45-56 trains daily)"

Because 60 trains a day is still not more than a train every 24 minutes or so (how many tunnels in the subway see that?) those trains have some leeway as to when they need to be at their destinations, and the freight roads can and do jam up Amtrak trains which do need to keep to a schedule (Amtrak has lost ridership between St. Louis and Kansas City because of it).

You really have no clue as to how the subway functions, do you? That's OK, though...this is Subchat. That's why MTA hires professionals and not foamers to work there.
