I wonder why they cant go from Pitkin to Queens Plaza, change ends, back down the 11st connector to the east end of the 60st tunnel, change ends, up to QBP then Xover to Corona. |

Use the middle track geo east of Queens Plaza to turn around.You could also: Pitkin Yards -> Canarsie Line and Broadway BMT through Montague St Tunnel -> X over at Lawrence St or Pacific St and change ends -> head north to Queensboro Plaza. Lexington Ave-63rd St is under construction so routes involving change ends there are out of the question. |

If those crossover switches west of Lex/63 are still working, they could follow the F route from W4 to Lex/63 (arriving on the in-use F track), change ends and wrong rail on the unused 7 Av connection to 57/7, change ends again and proceed to Queensboro Plaza & Corona. |
