I wouldn't mind QB having both the M and N lines together. A shorter R would be nice to have going to Astoria. You'd be better off running the N local since you realistically cant run more than 5 lines on QB without 'crashing' the rr. And I think it's safe to say the E F stays put as the express. M isn't going away either. You want broadway service, you'd have to kick out the other broadway line.= Ideally what I was thinking is the do this: extend the local tracks north of 57/7th up the 'ramps' and merge with the express tracks heading to 63rd. N (express) and W (local) goes to 96th/2nd av. Q and R will merge going to 60th. Set up would be similar to the CPW 59th st arrangements. W would still terminate at whitehall, but basically the only merging will happen around 57th. No more 34th st, no more Prince st merging. "All that is needed" is to lay down tracks on the barren ramps north of 57th. This way Astoria gets their fairly consistent express line, 2nd av has 2 lines running, and the merging issue is limited to 1 spot per line. |
