There was a planned one in the early 90's, but was averted at the last minute. There were pamphlets put out tell the emergency plan. the Richmond Hill station would have been a key station in the plan, as I believe all diesel service was to terminate there, and a special "P" train was to run as a super express on the J line, stopping only at 121st St, Bway Junction, (maybe Myrtle and some others), and run via Chyrstie, up 6th Ave to the 8th Ave line and terminating at 34th/Penn Station (or somewhere over there). This was to be done to not overburden the 7 or E.

it was averted at the last minute, so never happened.
