EE Broadway Local Posted February 3, 2011 Share #11 Posted February 3, 2011 For the M.T.A. to abandon Track 4 of the 42d Street Shuttle , they would also have to abandon and close the platform at Times Square that faces this track. That would leave the Shuttle with: Two tracks (Track 1 and Track 3) Half of Times Square (The platform facing Track 1 and the platform between Track 1 and Track 3) A weird looking platform at Grand Central (since there would be no Track 4) Only the connection to Lexington Avenue southbound Why would they do this? According to M.T.A. Press Releases, and trains have been skipping 50th, 59th and 66th Streets Uptown-bound weekends due to switch renewal north of Times Square. Switch renewal doesn't sound like switch removal. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
