Re: L train at Broadway Junction/Atlantic Avenue

A regular service using Atlantic on the Canarsie for a terminal is a non-starter because it would create delays on both the el and whatever is coming down from the 14th Street line. (Same reason why 57th can't be a terminal with 63rd Street service running through.) The only possibility for a service terminating on the Canarsie line is if it runs through and every other L train turns back at Myrtle.

Actually, wouldn't it make more sense to short-turn the L at Broadway Junction? That has both an island and a side platform, and it might make more sense to do it there. Saying that, if you can rebuild the tracks leading to and including the as-present unused platform at Atlantic Avenue, it can be set up that one line terminates there while the other continues to Canarsie.
