nu1116 4 #6 Posted August 3, 2012 I consider this project a renewal rather than a rehab... Anyway, congratulation to the West End riders! Still waiting for the MTA to rebuild the Sea Beach Line, which won't happen until 2014... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CenSin 3,251 #7 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) replaced old switches at Bay 50th St I was wondering about the switches… It seems to me that the switch from the Manhattan-bound track to the express track just south of Bay 50 Street is never used. They were used a decade ago when weekend construction caused the to run express on the West End line (then used by the ). Now the only runs express during weekday midday construction, and the Manhattan-bound trains switch using the switch north of Bay 50 Street or sometimes just east of Bay Parkway. What's the point of the switch then? Is it just because it's less costly to remove it outright? Edited August 3, 2012 by CenSin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
