Which was a BIG mistake in retrospect it was, though back then you of course had a different mentality:That's one segment I would be looking at rebuilding over time as a full-time, two-track route (perhaps not via the exact same route of the old Culver Line, but reasonably close), since this also could have the potential to be an SAS route when that opens (either via Broadway or via Nassau Street and in either case via the old route from 9th Avenue). Ditmas Avenue would be rebuilt where the platform that used to house the shuttle would become a full platform for 10 cars and connect to the local track to Coney Island there, while to 9th Avenue and Manhattan, that part of the station would be double decked with a connection to a new track on the upper level that would be accessed from a new connection just past 18th street to avoid a grade crossing: Depending on where such could be built to the right of the current local track that would quickly go up and over the current local track and onto a new upper level and/or from the express track to the new track (from the local track, going first onto the express track and then going to the local track), a connection to such track. |
