Mr Railfan Posted October 25, 2012 Share #11 Posted October 25, 2012 They really need to fix up those Express tracks in Sea Beach. And the ones out in Rockaway too. Only one's getting rehabed (About 95% done right now judging by all signals and tracks being in place). They had talks about rehabing track E3, but they said it's not worth it as there are no plans for an express setup like the one on Brighton. It's going to look more like the west end or culver line but in an opencut setting, with track E3 just sitting and rotting there. I'm not certain if they are going to remove or cover track E3 with ballast in the long run, but I think they will just let it rot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know, we might see some peak service down there soon. I think they should fix up the Rockaway bypass tracks for race-days. If JFK was an Express stop this would work out so well. But those tracks are in horrible condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E4 is gonna be basically for trains to/from the yard and in case of emergencies. Its being resignaled to be bidirectional. There's no hope for E3...at least north of Kings Hwy anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their attitude is to serve Manhattan and not the Bronx or Brooklyn (outerboroughs), hence all of the short turned trains, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concourse Express Posted October 25, 2012 Share #22 Posted October 25, 2012 I think everyone here knows what my answer to this question is.
