Posted by Wallyhorse on Fri Mar 21 08:04:10 2008, in response to Re: Re-Open LIRR 'White Pot Junction, posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor for ALL 3 LINES!!! on Wed Mar 19 19:58:40 2008. Paul:What is mainly being proposed would more likely have service operate out of Rockaway Park with some trains out of Far Rockaway as well, with the A maintaining its split between Lefferts and Far Rockaway while the new line(s) would be the Rockaway Park service, eliminating the need for the shuttle to Broad Channel. The way I would do the line would be to have it go as others have suggested along the Rockaway Line, and then have it run as a subway as a super express, making one stop at Roosevelt Avenue, a MAJOR transfer point between the 7/E/F/R/V, either on a new lower level or using the existing but never used upper level platform station there, then running non-stop in Queens through a new tunnel that would possibly include a stop on the northern end of Roosevelt Island before coming into Manhattan on 79th street with a stop there on York-1st Avenues (that I think even with two SAS stations would be among the busiest non-CBD stations in the entire city), and then stop on a lower level of 72nd/2nd and then split up, with half the trains joining the Q to 63rd/Lex and then the Broadway line (which can be a new route for the N and also clear up the problems with the N having to run local north of 34th on Broadway) and the other half joining the T on the SAS. That to me is how I would do it, as this can also be the Queens SAS. |
