  1. It would be but it's better if the ran to Brooklyn instead..........
  2. Some Ragtime this afternoon. Listening to "Oh You Beautiful Doll"..........
  3. I just realized the study map has an error. Since Houston Street is east of Bowery it would be required for the to stop at Bowery. Hopefully as part of the plan a transfer can be built between Grand Street and Bowery...........
  4. Scanned a copy of the PDF. Credits to the .......... http://roadcruiser1.deviantart.com/art/Second-Avenue-Subway-Nassau-Street-Alternative-388026961?ga_submit_new=10%253A1374732505
  5. Just read the PDF.......... http://www.mta.info/capconstr/sas/documents/final_summary_report.pdf
  6. I think a better input is to build the never built IND Queens Boulevard Super Express from the 60's. That would work out better than the idea you are proposing..........
  7. Actually Wallyhorse your idea will not work as the has pointed out that a Nassau Street Connection is next to impossible. The soil problem makes it impossible. Page 22 of this PDF. http://www.mta.info/capconstr/sas/documents/final_summary_report.pdf
  8. Well you could still technically have a connection to the from the Second Avenue Subway can't you?
  9. Well if it's going to cross the Manhattan Bridge doesn't it defeat the purpose too??????????
  10. Still it won't be a bad idea to build a connection to the Houston Street Station on the line....
  11. Horse just needs some of these. Afterwards he will be good....
  12. I didn't say that Phase 4 won't be built. It can be built later.
  13. I don't see a Second Avenue Subway connection to the Manhattan Bridge as possible. The services on the bridge are working just fine and it would congest the tracks on the bridge. A better idea which I have mentioned before to connect the to Brooklyn is just to axe Phase 4 or to build it later on and to connect the to Houston Street on the line. That way the can run onto the Culver Line via the Rutgers Street tunnel.
  14. Thanks guys for answering my question. I always found it weird that the World Trade Center station ended at an angle which oriented it in the direction of Brooklyn. It didn't look like it was meant to be a terminal. The only other line that terminates in Lower Manhattan is the and I get that excuse because of the South Ferry loop.
  15. I wasn't really thinking about extending the . I just wanted to know if the WTC Station was meant to be a terminal. Thanks for answering my question though.
  16. Out of curiosity was the World Trade Center station for the ever supposed to be a terminal station?
  17. When ideas are stupid they will be shot down. If you can't take the heat then stay out of the f**king kitchen. Idiot....
  18. None of his ideas are possible because there isn't enough room in the tunnels underneath the East River to handle more train service. That is unless if the drilled more tunnels underneath the East River which isn't going to happen because the is broke and can't pull money out of thin air.
  19. Sarcasm: Or we could just extend the and to London, England.
  20. Extension to Co Op City isn't a far fetched idea for the . It was a proposal from the IND Second System. It also called for the Second Avenue Subway to be extended up Third Avenue in the Bronx and to meet up with the somewhere north of Norwood 205th Street where both the and the planned Second Avenue Subway service would have moved on to Co Op City. Of course it wasn't built due to the Great Depression and the arrival of the automobile, but you get the idea.
  21. Or maybe even something more logical like a reactivation of the Rockaway Beach Branch to have a second service run to the Rockaways, but there was not thought.
  22. Hey. Foamers do what foamers do. Come up with sh*t that doesn't work and expects it to work. It's lunacy.
