LGA Link N Train

Why not 4 tracks then? Do you see my point?

I see your point however there's not enough room

Connecting it to QBL is not a good choice. The R is already long enough, and the M starts in southern Queens. I think it would be easier to connect to the LIRR mainline. The LIRR could run trains from NYP and Atlantic to JFK. They would reactivate the RBB, and use the express tracks at Aqueduct Racetrack and Aqueduct-North Conduit. One track can be built over at JFK to have a platform for the terminus, and a concourse can extended above the platform for ticket machines. If they don't want this, they could extend the RPK shuttle up to Forest Hills and have it connect to QBL there. They would also rename it to "H". A connection would also be made 104th St on the J. Knowing how people are though, they will build the Queensway because they "don't have enough parks" or "my privacy is going to be invaded by passengers looking out the window of a train going past at 40 mph".

The would Also be a good choice but the problem is that will it run on 8, 6, or 2 Avenues

As for the it could run a week day express service from Myrtle-Wycoff to Marcy Av and Queens Plaza to Roosevelt Avenue (or convert Woodhaven Boulevard into an express station as it was originally intended to do so) but that would require a new bus hub in some sort of way. However, CBTC would need to be completed on Queens Boulevard and the (yes, the ) would have to supplement as a local service in this proposal

If you want an alternative then here you go https://www.vanshnookenraggen.com/_index/2017/05/the-future-of-the-2nd-avenue-subway/#image-2896

By making it into a subway, you realize that it has to connect into existing, already overly congested subway routes.

 

We just don't have the capacity.

 

Easy to say let's build an entirely new line, but that would cost even more money.

True, the RBB will most likely connect to the Queens Blvd line so that would be the cheapest alternative. A lot of proposal's have the or running to Rockaway Beach or JFK. The would be a reasonable choice because it could create a marketing system from JFK to (IDK) Bryant Park or Herald Square. The would Also be a good choice because it shares the same fleet with the however weekend service would be different and would have to reschedule trains so I don't know what else to say but sign the petition to make this a reality

That… is not a what-if scenario that fits into the established pattern.

If I were the CEO of the MTA I would scrap that 125 St crosstown thing COMPLETELY, I would just have it go to the Bronx with bellmouths leading to 3 Av

We’re only even talking about this middle track because the trackway exists between 106 Street and 120 Street (in real life). If you want to introduce a wholly fantasy scenario, why restrict it to a middle track that spans 2 stations?

Incase congestion starts happening at 96 Street or an emergency peak service could occur

One question about the R211S: Will they be required to have PTC like PATH? I know SIR has some FRA waivers, but do they have one to not install PTC?

Interesting question: let's wait and see

You do realize that your track map has the RBB connecting to the LIRR, while your other map shows it as a subway? Seeing this is the subway forum, and given your comments in other threads, I assume you mean the latter, but felt like checking.

One other thing, that track map is not mine

True, but I combined the RBB with the Queens Bypass, keep in mind this map is just an example

Why not put some work into your proposals and draw your own track map? The post is unclear and incorrect.

Good Idea

The relay track at 116 is a great Idea, yet my original plan was for it to start at 103 St (106 Street station) and merge with an employee 125 Street (2 island platform, 3 tracks). The relay track stops at 129 St and the local tracks continue to the Bronx

Anyways, I think that R211's will most likely be built by Alstom and Kawasaki Heavy industries

 

Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk

There won't be any after the 211s come in. Point blank. The 211s will be replacing the 46s. Thats why its such a large order.

True, but that depends on how things go with the orders, if it goes well, then you're right, if there's a delay, then you already know

The Rockaway Beach Branch should be rebuilt and converted into subway, here's a petition if anyone wants to sign

I feel that this proposal should take in effect

 

 

 

It will open a door for new Transit opportunities

In that case, the r32's should be used on the G in addition to its current fleet of r68's and r46's.

Or put the R32's on the like intended for the train shutdown

The Worth Street link to Williamsburg was not proposed to feed into the Crosstown Line, but to intersect it.

 

Plot your proposal on a geographical map. I’m looking at Google Maps and I don’t think there is any way someone would accept such a long-winded trip through Clinton Hill, Bedford Stuyvesant, Williamsburg, Two Bridges, and the Financial District to get to midtown Manhattan. Even supposing their destination was the Financial District, they would be better off transferring to the or which makes a dash under the river directly there. Even most of those on the Crosstown Line would be best served by taking the train to Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets and transferring.

A second option is to send a train from 6 Av to South 4 Street

R160's and R179's cannot run together in service.

I know, what I'm saying is to recouple a few R160's and a few R179's

 

Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk

Ideally they'd just run during the rush on the to assure that if there's a problem on the Manhattan Bridge there's no chance of one getting assigned to Montague. They could just be assigned to the though.

 

 

and definitely, since they both run through Montague but whether they're banned from the and maybe the has been the cause of debate throughout this thread.

 

As for the 10 8-car R160s that no longer have a home, they can just sit around in the interim, maybe can be used as emergency cars.

Ideally, just have all R32's on the , and throw some R68's on the .

 

As for surplus R160's, they could just continue to operate on the and have the R179 replace all R32's on the .

 

Another option is to recouple some of the R160's and R179's into 5 car sets. As for the surplus A cars, might as well couple them together like an R32

The IND Worth Street line should be built. The line will run on it making stops at Mullbery Street(next to Columbus park), Rugters Street, Grand Street (All Manhattan stops) and Bedford - Driggs Avs. After that the will turn North under Marcy Avenue and Connect with the , then continue local to Church Avenue, allowing the to be 100% express via Culver. As for the unused/unfinished platforms under Union Avenue, they will be completed and converted into a new Transit Museum with one platform and 2 tracks to hold trains (unlike the current museum which can only hold 2 full length trains, my proposal will hold 4-6 using only one platform and 2 tracks) and every other platform that was unfinished will be finished and converted as territory to accommodate artifacts and other exhibitions

Sometimes unplanned service changes are cool, other times there just inconvenient

The Answer is simple, have the provisioned to 3 Avenue and have that be a separate project in on its own. Have the go up Dyre Avenue because it would provide more Transfers throughout its route (again that will also be a separate project in on its own or part of phase 2) also, build a new station at Prot Morris similar to how rethinkNYC did. As for SAS in Manhattan, just incorporate it with the Current plans and a relay track from 103 St to 129 St. That's the most logical way I see it and a win-win for both proposal's

Thank you. Finally a post that points out the obvious needs of the market in the northern part of the system. It seems that everyone else has an idea about routing, re-routing, or re-arranging services that already work while missing the ​enormous gap​ in Bronx subway service. Common sense says to tap the unserved or underserved market first but, as I've been told, "common sense isn't so common any more"..Run the service from the Bronx down Second Avenue to a southern terminal and you've essentially replaced the missing Second and Third Avenue elevated services. Wasn't it one of the main ideas to relieve the congestion on the Lexington Avenue line? Wouldn't this idea accomplish that ? Carry on.
