Posted by Broadway Lion on Fri Jun 20 11:44:34 2008, in response to Re: Keeping old South Ferry station open for the Lexington line after the 1 moves to its new station, posted by J trainloco on Thu Jun 19 22:24:59 2008. It does not follow the exact same route.(1) = 242nd Street -> South Ferry (9) = Dyckman Street -> Rector Street The purpose for terminating trains at Dyckman Street is to take pressure off of 242nd Street. There is room east of the existing uptown platform to build a new uptown track, and to use the existing uptown track as the turning pocket. Passengers wising to continue to 242nd Street need only cross the platform. The trains go out of service at Rector Street, but because of traffic cannot be fumigated, they will simply continue through the loop returning to Rector Street on the uptown side. The (9) train designation tells passengers that the train will not stop at South Ferry. The LION presumes that the existing platform at South Ferry will be taken over by C division, and will contain MOW shops or something, and that work trains will stage out of there at night, or maybe even in the non-rush day time.
