Why not ask yourself this: where does the T run and how many connections will it have to other subway lines? The is a sorely needed enhancement to the line considering how horrendous the transfers will be (and I'm speaking about all 4 phases of the line). Tentative plans mark all of the transfers as "under consideration" and a few of them are going to be very long walks if ever implemented:

• Lexington Avenue/53 Street: The 53 Street Line's platforms reach 3 Avenue, one avenue over.
• Grand Central–42 Street: The Flushing Line's platform are just touching 3 Avenue, one avenue over, but the railroad terminal is 3 avenues over.
• 3 Avenue: The Canarsie Line's platforms spans from 3 Avenue to 2 Avenue with the easternmost end touching the middle of 2 Avenue.
• 2 Avenue: The 6 Avenue Line's Lower East Side–2 Avenue station spans from 2 Avenue to 1 Avenue, with the westernmost end of the platforms about a third of a block away from Bowery. The station was built with space above for the Second Avenue Subway, but if the platforms were built below the existing station instead, it would be a long walk up.

You'd understand if you tried using the Lexington Avenue/53 Street connection to 51 Street.

 

 

This, by the way, is what the structures look like underground for the connection to 63 Street:

So they built the tail tracks for Phase 3? S1 and S2?

The had R29s also

Correct I remember 86xx cars. the others where on the

Yea just borrowed until Corona can send more R62As to Westchester... and they still put their strip maps on them so that passengers don't complain about where are the maps at.  Iv heard from a few sources not yet confirmed when the swaps are done , Westchester and 240st will swap R62As so that Westchester yard can have R62As 1651-2000 and 240st yard 2001-2475 . Also it seems that Westchester will go back to their older yellow yard stickers cause iv started see them peel the purple stickers already especially on 1791-1795. I spotted 2141-2145 on the and its now full width cab.

What was the Pre NTT Westchester Yard R62a assignments? 1651 to 18xx?  I know they also had R36's at the time as well.

I don't think yellow yard stickers--or yard stickers at all--are coming back.

What was the reason for them to change the yard stickers when the  R62a went over to Corona anyways? I know they got Cars from Westchester, Livona and a few from 240th was it more for consistency

what depot was the bx54 dispatched to?

I think it was ether The Coliseum or Walnut Depots.

Looked at it before when I was young. Now that I am older I know that all those plans on his map will never happen. It's impossible..........

Impossible is a strong word. Def some hurdles but I wouldn't call it impossible.
