I don't think that any of us want to see the Transit Museum suffer.Anyway, I got to thinking about all of the potential future rail connections, between Brooklyn and Manhattan, that were floated by public officials over the last decade. They are: the SAS, E train, LIRR and AirTrain. I might have missed something, but that's a full plate right there. As I see the E train connection also including the C train, that would mean that the C, E and T would probably need separate tunnels. That's 8 tracks. You can't squeeze all of that through Court St. Here's what I envision: a prefabricated 8 track tunnel similar to the 63rd St. tunnel. Bottom 4 tracks for the LIRR and AirTrain, top 4 for the subway. If this were to happen, a Schermerhorn St alignment would be out, and that would preserve the current location of the Transit Museum. There could be a new subway station at Court St & State or Atlantic. The C and E could still be hooked up to Fulton St local tracks. The SAS could be hooked up the 4th Av. |
