Track 4 on the other hand, is problematic. The Shuttle comes into TS on a curve, not all doors in the last car of that train open (on the Grand Central End). If the plans for the Shuttle Rehab ever comes to frution, Track 4 would be abandoned, while 1 and 3 could be lengthened to hold 5 cars on each. All Plans are subject to change, let's wait and see how this plays out. Of course if that happens, and we get 5 car trains, there would be no need for single unit R62A's. -Stef |
