The walls at Grand Street (B,D) conceal additional trackways for the SAS behind them.While it's highly unlikely, you can't prove that there aren't... The SIRT South Beach Branch was abandoned to build the Verrazano Bridge. OK, that's ridiculous. Who the heck cane up with that one? The 63rd Street tunnel was not originally intended to connect to the QB line Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was. BMT numbers were popularly used outside the Sea Beach and Brighton Line Define "popularly". If you mean by majority, then I don't have enough info to say. But BMT numbers were used quite often on lines besides the #1 and #4. I've seen quite a few photos of #2, #7, #10, #13, #14, and #15 trains. #3-only seen that on the R-11. #5-only seen that on a fantrip. #6-never seen that. #8-only seen that once. #9-never seen that. #11-don't even know what that is. #12-dunno what that is either. #13-only seen that twice, once of which was a fantrip. #16-only seen that once or twice. The R-68 is slow They probably aren't. It seems like they are, since they're mostly used on slow lines, and their 75' length makes them sound slower. R-68s can get up to decent speeds in the 6th Ave dash, passing 9th St n/b, and approaching Newkirk Av n/b. It would have been significantly cheaper to reuse the Rockaway ROW than build the Van Wyck El Of course not. But it would be cheaper to do that than to build a new tunnel under the East River. NIMBYs are always bad, no matter what the situation, no matter what the reason, no matter what is being opposed. I suppose some NIMBYs are good. A sewage treatment plant doesn't belong in a residential neighborhood. A 42nd Street light rail makes sense Probably wouldn't. The lower level of 42/8 was built solely for the purpose of blocking a westward extension of the 7. Why the hell else would they have built it? And Last but the opposite of least: 76th Street Station exists I'm beginning to believe that it probably doesn't. |
