Easy. 18 TPH out of Continental (9 R, 9 G), 9 V's to the Rockaways. That's 27 TPH, still 3 fewer trains per hour than the express tracks carry.

My issues are that the local which gets diverted down the Rockaway line will act as a conduit for thousands more riders to be dumped onto the Queens Blvd express routes, which cannot handle it.

I offer a different alternative: restore service on the abandoned ROW, but do NOT connect it to the Rockaways. Terminate the trains in Ozone Park.
