Third Avenue/Culver El Re-builds |

Posted by Wallyhorse on Sun Oct 5 02:57:02 2014, in response to Re: Third Avenue right after the el, posted by Nilet on Sun Oct 5 00:42:55 2014. One version of a rebuilt 3rd Avenue El that had been suggested before that could work would be for most of the route, single tracks on two levels (directions of trains on each level depending on which side most of the platforms would be placed on). There can be places where both tracks in that scenario are on the same level to allow for switches between tracks where needed.The plan I have would have two levels and four tracks total with platforms set up like the CPW line for local stations and island platforms for express stations, with 60th-63rd designed to be the busiest station on the line. Single tracks on two levels is also how I would be looking to do a re-build of the Culver El, with southbound trains going to a rebuild of what had been the stub track at Ditmas Avenue (before joining the Culver Line after that and that becoming an island platform again) as the lower level otherwise and northbound trains going to a new track that would lead to EITHER a new upper level of Ditmas Avenue northbound OR the far side of an island platform of the northbound side and going across from there as the upper level, with it only two tracks together in the immediate area leading to the 9th Avenue lower level station. |
