The original design was supposedly going to bring 63rd into the express tracks rather than from the outside. Don't have the track maps of yesteryear and "as built" handy, but they didn't do the connection the way it was originally intended. I've *heard* that there's a lot more movements required of the 63 connector and that it slows down the railroad whereas the original concept wouldn't have affected it as much as what they built does ... I'm going on hearsay here as to how slow things move through those junctions today, and what it takes to get a lineup ... |
