Consider too that the other connection to lower Manhattan, the Nassau Loop, was severed about 35 years after being completed. While that line also served the eastern division, it was also to be the route the special express trains were to use. I don't know the exact date it was severed, but when Chrystie opened they instead through routed the QJ and RJ to make up for the loss of the Banker's Specials, and also the TT that ran up there. They probably had to deadhead the specials to ENY once they severed the bridge connection but before Chrystie opened. And now only the J/Z serves the line and nothing goes through. The last time I rode an M train from Dekalb to Chambers, in the height of rush hour, it was only modestly full with a few people standing, but empty seats too. It was no wonder they killed the service altogether.But yea, imagine if instead of the bridge the expresses all ran through the tunnel. 5 lines of trains, now 4, all cramming onto those two tracks, a slow ride even now with just the R. |
