My solution (that I stated previously) was to leave all the tracks as is between Atlantic and Bway Junction. Just reroute the Manhattan bound L train to the fourth track instead of the 2nd track (from the west). Now you have spent less money, and still have a set of express platforms and layup tracks available. The Sneidker L section will still be torn down. We really don't need a cross platform transfer between the uptown and downtown L trains (let them appear as locals in an express station. Bway trains can terminate at Atlantic without blocking L trains, and L trains can terminate there in either direction (of course making passengers wait for another train for one stop is not as good as the crossover added north of Bway Junction.On an unrelated note, is the crossover from the center track between Myrtle and Halsey still connected to the Canarsie bound track, allowing for a N/B train to terminate at Myrtle and then go back to Canarsie without having to relay on the center track and wrong rail into Myrtle. |
