  1. Just because it would be cheaper to convert the wards Island Bridge to a rail bridge and make a new lower deck on the RFK bridge across Randalls than to Bore a tunnel under 86, but frankly speaking 79 would be better. I think another option might be to bore a tunnel under 96th then do crosstown there The main pro of 79 is that we would have another station on Roosevelt. The main pro of Randalls is that we would have a station on Randalls also a crossing at Randalls would be at about 102, not 125
  2. Link: https://piskel-imgstore-b.appspot.com/img/f29ebaa8-7a70-11ea-8336-83f1266ad5b1.gif Hope you like it!
  3. @R32-DTrain I PMed you yours. @OrionVIIonM79 do you want me to PM you yours or post it here?
  4. Ok, will do! Note to all: PLEASE TAG ME WHEN YOU POST HERE!! I PROBABLY WILL NOT GET YOUR REQUEST OTHERWISE!
  5. And then walk? That’s one long walk, if I may say so myself.
  6. Ah ok. Sorry for the mixup. On the topic of subways, would a extension up 21 St to Ditmars, then across on Randalls, then up 2nd/125th to Bway be feasible?
  7. I edited the map: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Di0UyivrsjS0uY5qzKUgPe29kBRYIzls&usp=sharing I added the Union Tpke line connected to RBB like @LaGuardia Link N Tra proposed. I also added a revised 10 Av line like @WillF40PH and @mrsman proposed. Thoughts?
  8. @davemackey @DaTransitMan4608 @DCTransitFilms @Cait Sith @S78 via Hylan why is 17130 tracking down by south ferry ?

  10. What?? Could you make a stop list or map? I'm not quite sure what you're talking about? Where would the terminals be? Also, would this be a DMU? an EDMU/BMU? an EMU? @WillF40PH @bobtehpanda didn't you guys propose something similar to this or not?
  11. Ok, and after 14th, you’d run it in a tunnel under 10th? Or use the Highline to the Empire Connection?
  12. Thank you for your input. I knew that some of the proposals wouldn’t be good and you’ve obviously just told me one that isn’t. so in the next edition of the map I will eliminate that line Where would you have a West st line end though?
  13. Original QBL conversation? Umm, there can be more than one conversation. As well, LRT is a GREAT alternative to buses, and is enviornmentally friendly!
  14. Keep in mind: EVERY LINE IN MANHATTAN IS A TUNNEL!! A BQX would not connect to manhattan, which defeats the whole purpose - people would just take the . The 57 St Tunnel is 35TPH, which means a train every two minutes. the M57/M31 COMBINED is 20-25BPH, and is WAY slower.
  15. True. The CAF Urbos 3 can run in the following configurations (S = section, A = articulated, C = coupler) S-A-S-A-S-C-S-A-S-A-S-C-S-A-S-A-S (essentially 3-car) S-A-S-A-S-C-S-A-S-A-S (essentially 2-car) S-A-S-A-S (essentially 1-car) I think using the last one for off-peak would work. But, I'm still wondering which lines would have only enough ridership to justify a one-car. The LGA branch does just that (excpet Terminal A). For Terminal A, just take an LGA Shuttle bus. Actually serving Terminal A (from Northern) would either involve a massive detour for those going to B/C/D, or running a tram on a residential, one-way street.
  16. I have a really big wall map from 2014, as well as a small map from 2005. I don't have many more historic maps, though
  17. Thanks for the advice. But, it would have to run CAF Urbos 3s, due to the fact that there would be no catenary in some places. Anyway, which routes wouldn't have enough ridership for a 2-to-3-car unit? I think that all would, especially with the service patterns that I outlined.
  18. Ok, here is my new map. NOTE: This is just a map of all my proposals that could be linked with a trunk line in Manhattan. (as @T to Dyre Avenue suggested). Some may work, some may not. I do have more outer-borough proposals, which I will make a map for As @bobtehpanda, @Theli11, and @LaGuardia Link N Tra said, I agree with both a Union and Lefferts line, but that couldn't connect Manhattan. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Di0UyivrsjS0uY5qzKUgPe29kBRYIzls&usp=sharing And, the notes: Rush Hour TPH Main Line 45TPH Chelsea Branch 12TPH Riverside South Branch 10TPH Northern Line Qns Plaza to 94th 20TPH 94th to LGA 10TPH 94th to Flushing 10TPH Cross Brooklyn Branch 15TPH Service Patterns FLUSHING - NORTHERN - 57 ST - 10 AV - WEST ST - WTC LGA - NORTHERN - 57 ST - 10 AV - WEST ST - WTC FLUSHING - NORTHERN - 57 ST - 11 AV LOWER EAST - WILLY B - CROSS BROOKLYN - 57 ST - RIVERSIDE SOUTH - 72 ST LOWER EAST - WILLY B - CROSS BROOKLYN - 57 ST - 11 AV Fleet CAF Urbos 3 (no catenary on QB Bridge or south of N 7 St on Cross Brooklyn Line) Thoughts @WillF40PH @Mnrr6131 @Theli11 @LaGuardia Link N Tra @T to Dyre Avenue @engineerboy6561?
  19. 20801 back at Secacus. 20805 now off the coast of africa!!
  20. 20809 is now tracking....off the coast of Africa. But that means at least up to 20809 has been built!
  21. What's faster from RIVERDALE (W. 239 St/Riverdale Av) to WOODLAWN HEIGHTS (E. 241 St/Katonah Av) Walk > BL-1 > BL-4 > > > > Walk > or something else
  22. Ummmmm, this would cross the QB Bridge, and having a BRT has been proposed before. It'd only be on 5/6 for 2 blocks, and why is a median now a "bad" idea? It's a great idea! It's the closest thing you can get to a dedicated ROW in this packed city. As @engineerboy6561 @bobtehpanda @Union Tpke and @LaGuardia Link N Tra all said, you need to minimize street running. That's what I'm trying to do here without having to end it on the east side (which would mean riders would most likely transfer to the in Queens, and it'd be empty after Queens Plaza. Also, Columbus Circle is super wide. convert the inner (or outer) lane in to a tram lane, and voila, you have a terminal. What I was asking is is it better to have a 2-track terminal on 59th.
  23. NEW PLAN: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XYDafyiqwG22P3HyZMl-gLG2FB9_Kflv&usp=sharing No 63rd St. Here's the full type of ROW: Flushing to 114 St dedicated ROW to Northern, median to Willets Point, then dedicated ROW to 114 St 114 St to Queens Plaza median Along Queens Plaza new bus/tram lane QB Bridge Upper Level WB/Outer Level EB becomes tram lane Manhattan street running to 1 Av, median of 57 St, street running on 5/6 Avs, median on 59 St, dedicated ROW on Columbus Circle. Here's the Columbus Circle Terminal layout. Would platform 1 or 2 be better? and, would a diamond switch, loop, tail tracks, or a combination of those be best (Keep in mind - I want this to turn 20TPH MINIMUM)?
