What I'd like to see in a quasi-realistic sense...

I don't know New York well enough to comment in detail, but these ideas do seem "quasi-realistic".

As a general rule, the trouble with spur lines is that if a line has many branches it becomes more difficult to operate reliably, and the maximum trains per hour may have to be reduced. That's why very busy systems like the Moscow subway have just one route per line.

The Pelham line already has an awful lot of stops, and any extension would add even more; perhaps you could consider closing a few of the least busy stations (E 143 St is one of them).
