The Brighton Local To Brighton Beach!


Brighton Local

Recommended Posts


I still don't get how both (B) and (Q) trains terminated at Brighton before CI reopened, it seems like Brighton wouldn't have the capacity for that with its switch configuration.

The (Q) used to pull in on 1 Track (Normal Coney Island Bound Track) Drop-out, proceed into 5 track, the pocket south of Brighton towards Ocean Pkwy, Dump, Change Ends, Relay back into Brighton Beach on 3 Track (Coney Island-Bound Express Track) Doors Open, Doors Close, (Q) proceeds North of Brighton, crosses over twice back to the Manhattan-Bound Local Track (A2). The (B) simply used to use 4 Track ( The Manhattan-Bound Express at Brighton Beach both directions). Awesome operation actually.

So during that G.O all (Q) trains were stored at the layup tracks between Brightion Beach and Ocean Pkwy?

Yes, Ocean Parkway to North of Brighton Beach,all layups.
