And this renews my idea of perhaps having a second Roosevelt Island station serve as a terminal for perhaps the N train running from there, and then coming into Manhattan through a new tunnel from the northern end of Roosevelt Island, as noted in another thread perhaps through 76th street (no, not that 76th street) or 79th street with a stop on 76th or 79th and York-1st Avenues before joining the Q at 72nd/2nd before both trains go to Broadway via 63rd Street and wind up on the express track. In that scenario, the W becomes the full-time Astoria train while the R remains as it currently is. Such a new N line could later be extended into Queens as a super express that could start on the built-but-never-used upper level of the Roosevelt Avenue Station.That would solve the problem on Roosevelt Island to me. |
