When it was local during middays, the B ran to 57/6 not Wash Hts. The problem with the IND is that even though it was built to relatively modern standards as compared to the privates, it still lacks a certain amount of flexibility in certain places. At Qns Plz, 50/6, Jay St and Canal St, it would have been better to construct the junctions with a set of wyes instead of diamond crossovers as was done at 42/8 and 59 St so that both the locals and expresses could alternate routes without interfering with each other as is the present case. As for W4 St, there is no reason why the express tracks couldn't have been constructed with track connections between the upper and lower levels like those on the local tracks. |
