Posted by Wallyhorse on Wed Jan 30 01:45:14 2008, in response to Re: SAS/four tracks, posted by R160 8818 on Mon Jan 28 20:46:42 2008. Some very interesting ideas for a Brooklyn run:That said, the 55th street stop is actually 53rd-55th so that people can transfer from there to the 6/E/V trains. I don't think that stop would change, but I would look at making that stop 50th-53rd and then adding a local stop at 57th-60th to allow for transfers to the 4/5/6/N/R/W and an out-of-system transfer to the Q/F at 63rd/Lex. The express stops I would do with 14th Street as the start point would be there, then 42nd, 72nd, 86th and 116th, with the express tracks rising before and going down after 42nd and 72nd (or if 72nd is not possible because of exsiting alingments, then 86th), also doing so where all tracks would at 72nd (whether on one level or two at that point) be able to have a branch break away for a new tunnel that would run through 79th street, stopping at York-1st Avenues there before heading to Roosevely Island and then Queens as a super express that would help alieviate the overcrowding problem on the Queens Blvd. line. As for Brooklyn, the best bet would be to have any SAS trains access the Nassau Street line after Houston as noted before. |
