N6 Limited Posted September 24, 2018 Share #19657 Posted September 24, 2018 Would it make sense to build a new line to Staten Island Via Governors Island and Brooklyn, but as an elevated line along 1st Ave/Industrial City, to about the 59th Street where they can build a connect to St George Terminal? A tunnel direct from Manhattan would probably be very expensive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted September 25, 2018 Share #19661 Posted September 25, 2018 Remember that now-abandoned line manager concept about 10 years ago? In a nutshell, the Stations department will get that treatment. Their main goal will be to make sure stations get cleaned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted September 26, 2018 Share #19662 Posted September 26, 2018 I had an idea: You guys know when MNRR uses those platform extenders to board people at stations when the platform track is out of service? Why not use that for elevated stations in the subway? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those platform extenders are usually in areas where the train stations aren't elevated. Whole different ballgame. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metro-North's stations are much more further apart and where there's the opportunity to work without shutting down lines they do it, otherwise they run shuttle buses. I'm really not a fan of those platform extenders. They slow down service because there's only one door to enter and exit out of. Years ago coming back from Westchester, I was driven to the Fleetwood station. I got on the train and it was PACKED, so packed that I could not get off the train in time at Woodlawn because the idiots in front of me weren't moving fast enough to reach the first car, so I had to get off at Fordham and change my travel plans completely. They do that with trains that stop at Botanical Garden on weekends and the boarding and de-boarding process is insane because the trains are so packed with people all in the aisles.

Have the extended platform at Yankees Stadium, Fordham plaza, Astoria line stations.... Safety hazards. The end. Well, let's not be so hasty here. Bridge plates can't work on lines that have varied fleets (think doors) but I don't see any reason they couldn't be set up on viaducts. Most stations have relatively flat profiles, so as long as people don't wait on the plates (a rule enforced by some sort of attendant on the railroads), there should be no hazard not already present in elevated ops. You'd just have to retrofit viaducts to have hardpoints that will hold them, and have enough of them present (either on a roving flatcar or at each station) to accept an entire train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted September 27, 2018 Share #19668 Posted September 27, 2018 Didn't they use to make temporary platforms on the El stations? They would put a wooden platform (10 cars long) over one of the local tracks and have trains in the affected direction do the station stop on the middle track. I faintly remember seeing them on the line when I was a kid and on the line in like the mid-to-late 2000's.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely did this while rehabbing Pelham Parkway in the 2000s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
