The Myrt was definitely in need of a rebuild, and they were actually considering doing just that. Same for the lower 3rd. That was the basis for the R-39 order that never happened. If i remember correctly, the Jamaica el was also in need of structural modernization which they actually went and did.

But no, the actual cause for the doom of the other two lines was strictly money-based. City was broke, and the Empty-yay came along only interested in the LIRR and begrudgingly stuck with the subway. THAT was what actually happened. :(
