Mind you, with a waiver, one wouldn't need brake tests*, and one would hope and pray that NYCTA could cheat its way out of paying LIRR salaries. NJT seems to be able to do so... :-P *Wouldn't it be nice if the commuter RRs in the Northeast could all get waivers? Times Sq would be able to handle 36 tph, but the question is whether Javits Ctr will be able to. Then on the other end, will 111 St + Main St + Whitestone Terminal be able to turn 36 tph, and what the connectivity will be like at the Willets Pt interlocking. Since I'm not a railway engineer or planner, and I'll refrain from making dangerous assumptions about interlocking design unless I feel like making an ass of myself. Otherwise, I would presume that the 111th Street short-turns would continue on the spur to Whitestone during peak hours. Hopefully 11th Avenue/34th Street will give us a useable terminal that can turn back appropriate amounts of train, and had the line been in the planning stages, I would have asked for a third track as a dumping ground for trains at either 10th Ave or TSQ. |
