Re: $787K Study Seeks to Find Ways to Encourage Subway Riders to Ride LIRR and MNRR

The issue at Woodlawn Junction is not the signal system, but rather the track layout. It's basically a choke point where 4 New Haven Line tracks constrict to two, and outbound traffic has to cross in front of local Harlem Line traffic.

Rebuilding the junction so a train could go from any one of the four Harlem Line tracks to a four-track New Haven Line without having to cross another track at grade would increase capacity and reduce delays for both the Harlem and New Haven Lines.

The same should be done for the Hudson Line junction at Mott Haven...reduce as many grade-level crossings as much as possible.
