Why not?If there's a way to do less with more effort and cost, the TA will choose it. The name of the game is to get passengers back and forth between Jamaica and Penn Sta. The best way to do this would be for a loop from Sutphin to Penn Sta via the J/Chrystie/W4 to Sutphin via the E. That means people at Sutphin will have 2 trains going to Penn Sta plus regular E service. It also means that people at Penn Sta will have 2 trains going to Sutphin plus regular E service. That's 33% more service than relaying at 145th (or any place else) will provide. The only downside, is that the Queens Blvd express track may be overwhelmed in the unlikely event that the E+F+P approaches 30 tph. There has been precedent for that event in the last few months: run the F as a local. |
