Robert Bosco Posted February 20, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 20, 2008 If you could create a new subway line (realistic or unrealistic), what would it be? I have an idea for my ultimate subway line.....Starting from Rockaway Park ...via a connector to Stillwell Ave (don't know how that would be possible, but it would be cool)...from Stillwell via Sea Beach Express..after Dekalb via Manhattan Bridge (6th avenue)...up to west 4th via express...after west 4th, via 8th avenue express, after 125th street ..via the line up to Norwood...i think this would be the first line to utilize 4 boroughs. And i would assign the R40's to the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted February 20, 2008 Share #3 Posted February 20, 2008 For me it would be extending the under the narrows into Staten Island either as a new line or an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted February 20, 2008 Share #7 Posted February 20, 2008 Realism aside, I would create a subway line spanning Northern Boulevard in Queens that would go from Great Neck, all the way along Northern Blvd into Manhattan under 34th Street.

basicked Posted February 22, 2008 Share #8 Posted February 22, 2008 i'd make a train going from west new york, or guttenberg to its first stop directly on 42 and 7, then cross town to 43 and 2, then connecting to the t line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted February 22, 2008 Share #9 Posted February 22, 2008 I would take an existing line, which in my idea, the , and extend it to Lincoln Harbor in Weehawken, NJ, making a connection to the Lincoln Harbor Hudson-Bergen Light Rail station.

error46146 Posted February 22, 2008 Share #10 Posted February 22, 2008 my own subway line would take me wherever i need to go! and the whole thing will be R32's only, with nice clean railfan windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tramrunner Posted February 22, 2008 Share #11 Posted February 22, 2008 you opened a great theme. First, since I live very close to the Nostrand Avenue, I'd wish to have subway lines very close to my home. If you look on the 1940ies plans, you will see that Nostrand Avenue Line was planned to terminate somewhere at Voorhies Avenue, not at Flatbush Junction. Since our family friends live in moved in Queens (Kew Gardens) in mid 1990ies I had lots of idaes of how to make Brooklyn-Queens Subway line. And setteled on the idea for reinstroducing some passenger service on the LIRR Bay Ridge Branch with stops at Borough park, Midwood, Brooklyn College, etc. Now I have a thought of a light rail system which goes from Sheepshead Bay / Midwood toward Canarsie, Starret City, ENY, Queens etc. I'd love to see a streetcar loop at the place where I change train for B36 bus. And then the LRT line is following the trajectory of B36 bus, passing my home (in reality it was so in Odessa, Ukraine) at then turns on Avenue U, then riches Flatlands somehow and goes east. ANother though is to make ings Highway BUS ONLY from Ocean Avenue to Ocean Parkway, and later on introduce LRT there. East of Ocean Avenue, Kings highway is vide enough to run LRT, or even build something like an Airtrain above. I also have a thought to make 86th street subway line from 86th street station (4th avenue line) to the place where West End line steps on 86th street. The problem is that in roder to make it underground a complicated dig needs to be done under the GOVANUS Expressway. However this segment can be elevated, and then back under the ground till the 18th avenue. This feature will make a BAy Ridge to Brighton trip much faster. I have lots of such thoughts. Among your I love especially the Idea to link Rockaway Park and Coney Island. I'd wish it include a section running through the Salt Marshes. I'd love to see rail among the Marshes, as it was in the places close to Odessa Ukraine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N-Trizzy2609 Posted February 22, 2008 Share #13 Posted February 22, 2008 I wish we had a subway line that'll run from Queens Blvd down the old LIRR towards the Rockaways. maybe? or ? Another would be having the got to the Bronx. Also a direct extension into JFK Airport and make stops at every terminal. That would bring the Express back!!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem is that there would be no diversity even though we like the R32s. ok then on my line we will have R32, R38, R40, R42 and R1 because i like the double railfan window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebbieprops Posted February 24, 2008 Share #15 Posted February 24, 2008 I'd have an extended train line in the Bronx, connecting to the Second Avenue Subway. It would serve all the areas formerly served by the (8) on Third Avenue. It would then run on Webster as far north as Gun Hill Road, where it would connect with the and the , and then end at Co-Op City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
