Posted by trainsarefun on Mon Sep 22 20:20:24 2008, in response to Re: Yankee Stadium and the old IRT 9th Ave. El Connection, posted by Wado MP73 on Mon Sep 22 19:40:51 2008. The question is how they are going to deal with the section with no third rail yet electrified with 25Hz.I believe they chose (LIRR style) third railing Hell Gate to Harold over converting the section to 60 Hz. One easy solution would have been for M8s to simply use the materials to handle 25 Hz, but that would increase the weight, and probably they figured why do that on account of pie in the sky scheme, anyway. It's fairly apparent that NYP isn't going to get any less busy. Perhaps they will simply MNR trains to Sunnyside station, and have a same-platform transfer to NYP trains. That seems to me the best way to run it - have the terminal on MNR trains via Hell Gate be HPA. Of course, depending on how HAROLD is re-configured, who knows who easy/hard that move from the Hell Gate to HPA would be. Right now, it's a very easy move, especially if one 'wrong rails' a little bit of the way south/west of GATE. |
