EE Broadway Local Posted January 1, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 1, 2011 Similiar to Create your own bus route! in our MTA Bus Operations forum, create your own subway route. Assign your subway route a route bullet, describe the route, station locations and transfers, assign cars (past, present or future subway cars), and assign a yard. Most of all have fun! This is my own Create Your Own Subway Route: 70(8) Third Avenue • New I.R.T. (A Division) Route • Uses R62s • Serves Third Avenue, Webster Avenue and East Gun Hill Road Stations Manhattan • East Harlem-Park-Lexington Avenues Transfer MNRR The Bronx • East 138th Street Transfer • The Hub-East 149th Street Transfer • East 156th Street • East 161st Street • East 168th Street • Claremont Parkway • East 174th Street • East Tremont Avenue • East 180th Street • East 183d Street • Fordham Plaza • Bedford Park Boulevard • 204th Street • Williamsbridge-210th Street • White Plains Road Transfer • Seymour Avenue-East Gun Hill Road Transfer The 70(8) is based at Unionport Yard in The Bronx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRT Bronx Express Posted January 1, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 1, 2011 Purple . This route will travel on the fictional Kalila Avenue line via Purple Peace Land. The problem is, the MTA is broke and they have no plans to build this line. :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrainFanatic Posted January 2, 2011 Share #6 Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) BMT El via McDonald Av & Church Av 5 car R160 set This route will utilize the Culver El from Av X until Ditmas Av. It will then branch off the el, continue north until it hits Church Av and will then make its way down Church Av, terminating at Kings Hwy (for those of you who don't know, Kings Hwy does intersect with Church Av). Trains will be based out of the CI yard via the switch at Av X. Stops in order from south terminal: Av X B4 B1 Av U B3 Kings Hwy B82 18th Av B8 Ditmas Av Church Av - McDonald Av B67 B35 Coney Island Av B68 B35 E. 18th St B35 Flatbush Av B41 B35 Nostrand Av B44 B35 Utica Av B46 B35 Kings Hwy B7 B35 Here's a map showing a portion of the line from McDonald - Church Av to Kings Hwy (I don't have Photoshop so bear with me) *Note: I forgot to put the station symbol for Utica Av.

Roadcruiser1 Posted January 2, 2011 Share #7 Posted January 2, 2011 One of the other things I would do is extend the from it's current Canarsie base down to 20th Avenue on the Sea Beach Line to create a crosstown Brooklyn Line to take the load off the buses crossing Brooklyn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer eliminate Flatbush Avenue so East 18 Street has transfers with the ( trains. Also, there is a transfer on the at Nostrand Avenue, not Flatbush Avenue, but I don't blame you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the correction. I made a mistake. As for Flatbush and E. 18th, their both valubale transfer points even thou both stations would be pretty close to one another. I just can't imagine having a shuttle run down Church Av and pass such a major avenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainFanatic Posted January 2, 2011 Share #11 Posted January 2, 2011 Won't a crosstown Brooklyn Line with the current work better then a . This shuttle would take a major load off the B35 and would reduce heavy traffic along Church Av. Just getting from Coney Island Av to Flatbush Av on the B35 takes 12-15 minutes during evening rush hour! It should only take 5-7 minutes! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgor Posted January 2, 2011 Share #12 Posted January 2, 2011 Mine would be an orange (P) train, it would be 100% R160s.

TheArr Posted January 2, 2011 Share #13 Posted January 2, 2011 Something, anything that goes to staten island from brooklyn or (better yet, though much more costly) manhattan. St George is good enough, the SIR exists for a reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted January 2, 2011 Share #14 Posted January 2, 2011 Though if the you give the current this alignment it would work. Plus a section of existing railroad the LIRR Bay Ridge Branch is down here. The Bay Ridge Branch can carry a total of 6 tracks. They removed 4 tracks over the years so they only have 2 tracks for current operations. You could have 2 tracks certified for subway usage, and send the down this line taking the load off all the buses, because a train can carry more people then a bus. Plus the cars are usually short. An 8 car train would not just take people off the B35 it would reduce crowding on all buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted January 2, 2011 Share #15 Posted January 2, 2011 The SIR is a railroad. Plus some Staten Islanders don't want the subway for fears of crime. A better idea is to use the current 2 remaining tracks on the LIRR Bay Ridge Branch which are railroad tracks, and send it into a tunnel to St. George. The Staten Islanders won't have to be afraid of crime, because of the high fares or that is what they think. Also it can run down the current SIR tracks without too much modifications to the line. The Bay Ridge Line is also connected to the Atlantic Branch a current passenger branch which is also helpful, and it's also right by the waterfront too. If you walk to the end of the Bath Beach Boardwalk you can see the tracks. If you send it into a tunnel from there it can make it to Staten Island. It's shorter too, and it would go directly to Saint George. Also a Manhattan connection is impossible. There are too many subway tunnels in Lower Manhattan. The tunnel would bump into other tunnels along the way, and also the isn't a good option, because South Ferry is too close to the Waterfront to dip under the harbor. There are no stations near the location on the Bay Ridge Branch, and if you move the tracks back a bit you can have the right alignment to go under the harbor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted January 2, 2011 Share #17 Posted January 2, 2011 Ask the Staten Islanders. Some of them think the subway is literally still in the late 1970's to the early 1980's. Those were good times weren't they joking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted January 2, 2011 Share #22 Posted January 2, 2011 I though there were several existing subway stations along Church Avenue. Though if you send the via along Church Avenue the cost would be extremely high. You would have to tunnel your way across. Why do that when an existing line that has room for extra tracks that can be rebuilt for subway use just exist a mile away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted January 2, 2011 Share #25 Posted January 2, 2011 Isn't a Tenth Avenue Subway better as an extension too since the is right near Tenth Avenue. Anyway such a subway doesn't have to go all the way up to 207th Street since it would compete with the current Eighth Avenue Line services. It's best to have it terminate at 59th Street-Columbus Circle to better serve the farther regions of the West Side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
