The LION's Plan: Was: Re-Open LIRR 'White Pot Junction |

Posted by Broadway Lion on Mon Mar 10 11:31:55 2008, in response to Re: Thus Spake the LION: Re: Re-Open LIRR 'White Pot Junction, posted by Edwards! on Sun Mar 9 20:04:46 2008. That line is NOT LIRR property, NYC and/or NYCT can do with it as they please. Heck, they can park school buses on it if they want to!If someone wants LIRR to operate on that line, then I guess it becomes an LIRR affair. But we [the LION and his PRIDE] see this happening not. If a subway line then the LION has an idea:  This presumes: 1) That a new subway was built along Northern Boulevard to alleviate congestion on the (7) train. 2) That the (R) train will serve Roosevelt Avenue out to Flushing Main Street. Thus the existing service from Times Square and Grand Central can be re routed as shown above, with one train making its way via LIE and the old Rockaway line to JFK and can then make the rounds there. This line would indeed be built to AirTrain specifications and will use AirTrain equipment to and from Javits Center, TS and GCT as a non-stop airport service. Other equipment will serve to Howard Beach, probably also to the Rockaways, and an addidional service to FLB via the LIE. The FLB/LIE service would serve new park and ride stations almost exclusively. The (A) train would no longer serve Howard Beach or the Rockaways but would be exclusive to Lefferts (well as extended via Supthin to Hillside.) ROAR |
