The issue in this case to me is what to do with the station after the 1 moves to the new one.It will be used by a gap train to hide in during the day, the platform will be used by the various crafts, and work trains will stage out of there by night. I can assure that the MTA will not let such a handy location go to waste. LION SAYS: 1) Make Dyckman Street a three track station with a pocket for turning a "New (9) Train." The (9) will run from Dyckman Street to Rector Street on an "as needed basis" but will not serve the South Ferry station at all. It will be relayed through that station (via revenue trackage) thus not requiring a fumigation, and be returned to the north going into service at Rector Street either as a (1) or as a (9) depending on the needs of the service.
