Or as I would do, a complete rebuild of the 3rd Avenue El, Myrtle El, etc:In the case of the 3rd Avenue El, I would rebuild it to BMT/IND specifications where it would be double decked in Manhattan (express upper level, local lower level) with the big transfer point being 60th-63rd Streets, with in-systems transfers to the 4/5/6/N/R at Lex-60th and F/(when the SAS opens) Q at 63rd, plus others at 50th-53rd between the E/M/SAS/6 at 53rd and 42nd between the 4/5/6/7/SAS, with locals running to the by-then completely-rebuilt World Trade Center (via the old 3rd Avenue El's Park Row branch) and expresses to South Ferry, which the express branch going to the Bronx, joined by an SAS line along the old Bronx 3rd Avenue El while locals would go across 125th to a terminal at 125th/Broadway-12th Avenue. This would include the east side's version of the CPW express run from 60th-63rd to 125th without stopping. In the case of the Myrtle El, as previously noted I would rebuild that to be a new version of the W train that would after Navy Street or Metrotech/Bridge-Jay join the Montauge Street line and then run via its old route to Astoria while rush hours, there would also be a Myrtle loop line that would break off (as a "Brown W") and go via Nassau northbound and then via the Willy B and the old M route back to Metropolitan in AM rush hours and in reverse in the PM rush. |
