Trains that serve Astoria right now DO have a yard somewhere and it’s called Coney Island Yd which is why the N was routed there. Moving the R back to Astoria would mean that CIY would then become the closest yd for servicing the R fleet and getting trains to/from CIY requires turning trains laying up at 95 St on the mainline at 36 St, not operationally feasible. At the present time what can be done with the service is contingent on the facilities that exist NOW, not at some time in the future assuming that funding can even be found to build the facilities you are talking about. |
