That I agree, and in fact, I would be looking at re-building the tracks at Atlantic Avenue on the (L) since the structures that supported them are still there (including the old Snediker Avenue entrance to the (L)). As I would do it, I would have track connections there that most of the time would be for storage, but in an emergency can be used as terminal tracks while the unused platform next to the active one would be re-built and set up so the "express" tracks can be used as terminal tracks and the "local" tracks are the tracks in normal service.

This also would allow down the road if you for instance connected the SAS to the Broadway-Brooklyn line a new train to start at the current (L) terminal at Rockaway Parkway while the (L) could start at Atlantic Avenue and better serve the much more heavily-used part of the line.
