"Along the entire length of the SAS, allowance was made for two third tracks - one at 72 St and one south of 42 St. These are the only places to move a problem train to and continue to allow thru service to operate."Nice to have - not essential. I think it's worthwhile, but you're overblowing its importance. It isn't worth sacrificing two subway stations and running afoul of the FTA. "Without this third track feature, they'd essentially be building the current L line as a Manhattan trunk - and go ask L line riders what happens when a train lays down." Yes, and something similar will happen in the SAS. You'll have to single-track with delays or use buses while the tuck train is rescued. Oh well. Get over it. |
