Posted by Edwards! on Mon Jan 30 23:24:17 2023, in response to Re: [VIDEO] RFW ride on LIRR Grand Central to Jamaica, posted by Eric B on Mon Jan 30 13:18:42 2023. The "Midday Storeage Yard" was originally a TA project.The 63rd st tunnel, and Queens Bypass needed an area for the same purpose that the LIRR does to this very day. The tunnel to the facility was designed to leave the Bypass tunnel around the same area. The project was canceled along with the Bypass, but the ROW is still available for a possible revision some day. What gets me,is the fact that the LIRR tunnel was extended when the 63rd st tunnel was connected to the Queens Blvd line. Yet,the Bypass tunnels were canceled, even while there were TWO TUNNEL BORING MACHINES DIGGING THREE TUBES UNDER THE YARDS. THE PLAN CLEARLY SHOWS THE TUNNELS in design. Even if they weren't going to use the tunes right away they still should have built them for future use. This is why I say to this day that the MTA favors its Commuter rail system and riders more than city transit. I will continue to say that NYC needs to get rid of the MTA and its suburban bullshit and let the City of New York operate our subways/buses. 11 billion dollars for this nonsense no Sunnyside station and no Bypass tunnels? Bullshit. Somebody should be going to jail for larceny and grand theft,not praise from the masses. |
