"Dedicated" Brooklyn scoot service....does this mean the end to ALL thru service from LI to Atlantic Terminal, even peak service?

I wonder when the actual completion date will be. Bids in 2014, then awarding of the contracts, environmental issues, delays, cost overruns, etc. Bet it won't be finished before 2020.

Notice since they rebuilt the station in the 1990's, public display of Platform letter seems to be gone. I don't see them anywhere. It had been very prominent in signs and announcements.

Ugh NO! NO NO NO! Short sighted LIRR! Scootifying the Brooklyn branch will render the increase in western terminal capacity brought on by ESA moot. Yet they want to run more trains?! And Brooklyn continues to grow as a destination. Just keep running into the brick wall guys, a little bit harder now!

It will become impossible for a Brooklyn train to reach any track at Jamaica below 6. That is the whole point of this.

The switches to access Tracks 1 thru 5 from the Brooklyn line come out.
