Right:

Had they decided to keep the El, what I think would have eventually happened was the line (as I would do it in a rebuild today) would have been rebuilt to BMT/IND standards (and possibly to handle 600' trains) at some point with many stations consolidated and fewer stations overall while after Navy Street, that portion would have been redirected to a new tunnel that as I would have done it would have connected to the Montauge Street line, joining the (R) at Jay Street/Metrotech and possibly becoming what eventually became the (W) train after Whitehall, possibly being the second Astoria line on weekdays and going to Whitehall on weekends (with perhaps in rush hours a "Brown (W)" that would have run from Metropolitan via regular route to Court Street and then via Nassau and the old (M) back to Metropolitan..
