Around the Horn Posted November 21, 2016 Share #2882 Posted November 21, 2016 I was down there today. Its only a few car lengths in the center that have been removed. Past that staircase in the photo, the wall is still up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtehpanda Posted November 21, 2016 Share #2883 Posted November 21, 2016 i should have said for #2 will there be a bellmouth to say build in the bronx at a later time No bellmouth, but you don't really need a bellmouth if the tracks in question you have to connect to are storage tracks; you can just take those out of service temporarily and find storage space elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrome Posted November 22, 2016 Share #2884 Posted November 22, 2016 I was down there today. Its only a few car lengths in the center that have been removed. Past that staircase in the photo, the wall is still up. Same today. Just a couple of small (1 carlength) sections are open for active work, and only on the lower platform. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porter Posted November 24, 2016 Share #2888 Posted November 24, 2016 Now I recently read that they can open the line on time, but bypassing one or two stations. 72nd and 86th, yeah. I say open 96th, print them all on the new map, and paste up some flyers saying that those two stations are temporarily out of service at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
