I never heard abut the SAS sharing operations with the Concourse Line. What Idid see in the original plans were plans for a new subway line along Alexander Ave in the Bx with a branch up Morris Pk Ave and another going east ( I don't recall the avenue) towards Throgs Neck. After the city took over the NYW&B as the Dyre Ave Line, plans for the Morris Pk Ave line were dropped and the SAS was to be connected to that ROW after unification, a branch to the reclaimed IRT Pelham Line which was built to BMT sized dual contract specs originally. During the 1970s before the fiscal crisis plans were changed and the Pelham Line was to be left to the IRT and instead, the Wh Pl Rd line was to be connected to the Dyre Line at E 180 St. Not only did the fiscal crisis put an end to any Bronx branches of the SAS but it also stopped any further construction of the SAS in Manhattan. If at all possible, instead of crossing 125 St, the SAS should be extended into the Bronx and connected to one of the IRT branches that can accommodate the equipment to accomplish its original purpose of alleviating crowding on the Lex Ave IRT.Although it’s no longer possible to use the original algnmentt to connect to the Dyre Line it can still be accomplished a different way although at th moment, Im; not sure exactly what that can be but I’ll work on it. |
