Posted by Broadway Lion on Sun Oct 11 07:50:54 2009, in response to Re: Bergen Street Lower Level, posted by Wallyhorse on Sun Oct 11 01:26:22 2009. The (V) would become a LOCAL to CHAMBERS WTC. It would NOT go to Fulton.The LIONs whole idea is to eliminate switching at Canal Street. The (E) becomes an 8th Avenue Express (as it was in years of yore. Eighth Avenue Express trains would head out to Fulton via Cranberry. The Fulton line only feeds through Cranberry. How would a train get to 6th Avenue. It cannot. At least not without crossing flat switches at JAY, which is ok for a weakend GO, but not for real service. The 8th Avenue LOCAL train (the (C)) would go via Rutgers to Church on the Culver Local. As we have previously examined, On Sixth Avenue we have two services, the BRONX service runs on what some people insist on calling the "express" tracks via the bridge to South Brooklyn; and the QUEENS service which runs via what some people are calling the "local" tracks. Of these the physical layout allows service either to Rutgers or to the 8th Avenue Local (to Chambers WTC) If we slice off the (V) to Chambers WTC, then send the (F) train to Coney Island via a notional Smith Street Express you could have the (C) and the (F) serving Culver, but you cannot get a Sixth Avenue service onto Fulton Street. As for Fulton Street, I would have an (A) train and an (E) train on there. Clearly one would be an express, probably the (A) and the other would be a local (well that leaves the (E), doesn't it?), but where shall terminate the (E). Ought it go to Euclid and call it a day, or should it go to Lefferts with all of the (A)s headed out to the Rocks. LION would send the (E) to Lefferts 24/7: A Jamaica to Jamaica service, and then would send the (A) train alternately to Far Rock and to Rock Park thus eliminating the (H) shuttle. That is what a LION would do if he ran the zoo. ROAR |
