Lennyj17 Posted July 13, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 13, 2010 When the is go'd to 8 AV how does downtown (D)'s get back to the Express at W4 where it needs to be to get to the bridge..... on the NYCSubway track maps it doesnt show this as being possible...are they missing that switch on the map? The way they have it the downtown was to switch back at W4 it would have to remain on the with no way of getting back to the West End...or if it stayed on the still no way of getting back to the West End. Unless I'm missing something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted July 13, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 13, 2010 It's not possible. Uptown can run via W4-59. To do so, it must switch to the 6 Av local at B'way Lafayette. It can't run via 8 Av Express! Downtown can switch to the at 59, but it can only switch to the 6 Av local. Since there is no switch on the downtown side at B'way Lafayette, it has to run via Culver . That's what they did with the broken rail at 59th yesterday. The key part to remember is that the connections are only possible from local to local. That's why during the via GO's, the must run local 59th-W4th in whatever direction they are diverted via the . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeesPwnMets Posted July 13, 2010 Share #3 Posted July 13, 2010 It doesnt. It goes down to Jay, then switches over to the line to Coney Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
