Posted by Sand Box John on Fri Jun 20 23:36:33 2008, in response to Second Ave Alignment Change, posted by mkeit on Fri Jun 20 22:46:38 2008. In a presentation to CB8 this week, the MTA announced that the 72nd St station is being reduced from 3 tracks/2 platforms to a smaller 2 track/center platform configuration to save money. The connection to the 63rd St line is also simplified.Second Avenue Subway PowerPoint Community Board Eight, June 17th , 2008 (7.32 MB PDF file). Not only is it simplified, it's a far more efficient configuration. The #12 turnouts will allow trains to move through junction at higher speeds. The new configuration is nearly identical the configuration of the tracks and junction at L'Enfant Plaza on WMATA metrorail The only thing I would done different is make the #8 double crossover on the south end of the station a #10 and make the #6 double crossover on the north end a #8.
