The FRA regs in a hybrid NYCTA-LIRR environment are pretty much the main stumbling block in such an operation, and the only thing that may save us is a waiver...Not sure what kind of a waiver you have in mind, but I just don't see something that's going to allow DM30s, M7s, and R179*s to co-exist. I've jokingly said that FRA regs would rid NYCTA of the employees that create the need for the timers... Probably a big pay raise for many NYCT employees too. The boys and girls on LIRR make a lot more than their NYCT colleagues. Of course, but for the purposes of simplicity and realism, the cheap-ass extension from Willets Point makes some sense... It would require running more trains on the Flushing Line to sustain both the Whitestone/College Point Branch and the Flushing Branch. Given that there has been unwillingness to do that, it's hard to see that happening. Depends if the friend-girl calls up... That's a term I have not heard in a long, long time.... |
