As Broadway Lion always mentions, switching operations slow service down, and it's best for trains to stay on the same track as much as possible.Routing an Eighth Avenue train via Rutgers Street would involve a blind switching maneuver at West 4th Street Tower, or an equally blind switch at Jay Street Tower. "Blind" meaning we can't see the train before lining it up, and non-functional or non-existent punches. All trains would have to be held behind red signals to be identified over the radio to be routed properly. This can NOT be done efficiently at West 4th Street Tower. Service must run straight through there as much as possible. |
