They'll likely cross at 34. It's D20 in both directions, unlike if you did W4 or a combo of Bway Laff and W4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, they'd probably want to avoid the early/late switch to handle the crowds (assuming all four tracks are in service). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll probably do what rerouted trains do, which as others have mentioned is switch between 34th and 42nd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northbound out of Stillwell... not so much. 4th Avenue takes up a lot more time than it should. Sometimes there'd be some weird dispatching at 36th and at DeKalb and trains just end up randomly sitting for up to 5 minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the is on the local tracks from 36th to 59th, there are a lot of times where and trains both arrive at 36th northbound at the same time and both sit in the station for a while and times where and trains both approach the switch southbound at the same time and both just crawl until one of them gets the lineup and it messes up all three lines especially in rush hour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens all the time. They will even send 2 trains ahead to 36 Street before letting the get in the conga line. The gets a better deal out of the current arrangement and it would be merging with the either way, but now the can wait in station instead of being stuck at the ramp going down to 36 Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
