The 30 tph figure he uses - as opposed to the 40 tph that I think he was trying to note is theoretically possible - is more realistic given what happens on the Queens Blvd Line's express tracks. If the local tracks didn't have the terminal capacity problem at Forest Hills, there's little reason why they couldn't run 30 tph. (Since the express tracks already do that; if anything, the local tracks with their shorter signal blocks might actually do better on certain stretches, but let's not speculate). But then the problem to solve becomes one of trying to add northern terminal capacity on to the local tracks, and then of waiting for the SAS south of 63rd St to be built.But the future is a long way off still.... |
