Yeah, I explained the weird configuration before, but I'll do it again here:All eastbound trains switched onto the middle track upon leaving 111th. About 500 feet further east there was a hard rail connection between the middle track and the Manhattan bound track. Manhattan-bound, trains used the hard rail connector to the middle track, then switched over to the Manhattan bound track just before 111th. Crew changes were done at 111th, that now gone tower room was always busy back then. The Jamaica bound track and platform were used for layups only. Due to these limitations, many J trains during rush hour terminated at 111th. |
