West 8 has been renovated, the brigton line El is concreate past ocean parkway and that was also rebuilt. Stillwell got all the attention becuase it was completely replaced from the ground up.I've been digging through google maps and I've found that the Blue line's yard is built right on top of a salt marsh called Belle Island Inlet, while CIY is about 1/3 of a mile inland. also, The cars don't spend all dam day runing around in that air. N trains get laid up on the center track of Astoria, B trains can lay up in the bronx if need be, and for that matter, the cars used on the B one day might have been on the N the day after and could had been sitting in concourse lay up the night night before. the point is that Blue line cars spend much much more of thier time exposed to salt air than coney Island based cars. |
