Posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Tue Jan 22 16:17:18 2008, in response to Re: (R) Extension Idea (was: Yet another thread rehashing tired service change ideas), posted by WillD on Tue Jan 22 15:50:14 2008. A better route would be to pass a bit to the north of the bridge and intercept the SIR ROW around Tompkins Ave or a bit west of there. I don't know if you intend to rebuild the SI Expressway HOV lanes for heavy rail, but there should be sufficient room to create a junction between the SIR and R train there. That provides the maximum amount of route flexibility, allowing trains to run from Tottenville, Arlington, or perhaps even St George through the tunnel to NY.I was actually looking towards a new Mid-Island route that was built to NYCT's standards and separate from the operations of the 4-car SI Railway. The Bus/HOV Lanes could be torn up and built over as there is sufficient space along the entire length of the SIE for a rail line in the median along with it's stations. The problem in the West Shore Light Rail though, would be in getting it to connect with the North Shore Line in Mariner's Harbor and then bringing it up to the Bayonne Bridge shortly after. |
