Posted by Broadway Lion on Fri Dec 7 10:29:32 2007, in response to Re: Whoa! Competition Comes to the Subways, posted by Orange Blossom Special on Thu Dec 6 23:45:47 2007. The (7) and the (L) are good lines to try this on. For other lines this may be more problematic.Elsewhere however a different paradigm needs to evolve. Say there is a Queensboro Superintendent, and say he owns all of the stations and the tracks on the Queensboro line, and even owns his own yards and rolling stock... Still his trains must leave his territory and enter that of Manhattan, and eventually into territory of Brooklyn. Once they cross under the river into Manhattan, his trains are operating on tracks of other supervisors, and he must negotiate with them for time slots, access and service. Does he also own 6th Avenue. Or just the Queens tracks on Sixth Avenue? Does he also own the Culver Line. That would make sense. But his (E) train would be a guest of the (A) line superintendent, and his (R) train would be the guest of the Broadway superintendent, or would he also own the Broadway Local tracks and the 4th Avenue Local Tracks in Brooklyn? Suppose the Broadway Superintendent "owns" the Brighton and the Sea Beach lines, along with the Broadway Express tracks, and also the Second Avenue Subways as well. Yet he plays "host" to the (B) train, and on his Brighton Express tracks to boot! Or does the Concourse Superintendent own the Brighton Express while the Broadway Superintendent owns the Brighton Local Tracks. This *could* make a whole new subway map. Is anybody up to the challenge? ROAR |
