Metro CSW Posted March 18, 2016 Share #3980 Posted March 18, 2016 I'm bored so I might as throw in an idea or two..... Brooklyn and Queens extension to Metropolitan Ave via a new elevated line on Myrtle Ave between Metrotech and Myrtle Ave-Broadway. - Jay Street-MetroTech - Portal South side of Myrtle Ave at Fort Greene Park across from the housing. - Vanderbilt Avenue - Bedford Avenue - Union Avenue (connect to the at Myrtle-Willoughby Avs - Myrtle Avenue-Broadway (transfer to ) - all stops to Metropolitan Ave replacing to which goes to Canarsie via Broadway Junction with or replaces the ? Another one would be to restructure the Crosstown line to LaGuardia Airport via the BQE, North of Lorimer Street, Chicago style, maybe. The Franklin Avenue Shuttle would be extended North of Fulton Street and merge with the at Nostrand Avenue and replaces the between Lorimer Street and Court Square, renamed the Crosstown-Greenpoint Shuttle, service between Prospect Park and Court Square. Stops via BQE: - Morgan & Meeker (B48 new terminal?) B24 - 48 Street B24, Q39, Q67 - 58 Street Q67 - Queens Blvd Q18, - Broadway-Roosevelt Avenue (Transfer to and if this does happen in this lifetime, the Triboro RX across the platform) - Astoria Blvd - LaGuardia Airport (located under the cetral parking lot) Meh, I don't know, guys. What do you think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted March 20, 2016 Share #3981 Posted March 20, 2016 Those of you who saw my Flatbush Avenue Terminal reconfiguration in this thread a while back, forget I said anything about it. Because I understand that Nostrand Avenue is far too narrow for the Flatbush Avenue Terminal itself to be four-tracks instead of two. Plus, I don't think there's a need for tail tracks south of the station either. Much cheaper for Brooklyn IRT trains to be stored at Livonia Avenue yard rather than building tail tracks south of Flatbush Avenue Terminal and/or east of Utica Avenue. Either way, as someone told me a while back in this thread, Flatbush Avenue Terminal was never intended to be a terminal. It was always meant to be extended, but it never had due to $$$. Therefore, Nostrand Junction (or Rogers Junction, I don't care which name is actually use, don't matter anyway) is all that needs to be reconfigured. Or should I say that it should have been just like the merging and diverging south of 59 Street-Columbus Circle from the get-go. Therefore, in my world, the limited & runs to and from Utica/New Lots will continue to operate just like in the real world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonbxny0619 Posted March 22, 2016 Share #3982 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) My idea will be extending the to Co-op City/Bay Plaza in the Bronx and to Utica Avenue in Brooklyn at the same time extending the to New Lots Avenue 24/7; having the in two branches just like the route 1 : Via 2nd Avenue local, Broadway Exp via Manhattan Bridge, Brighton local; route 2: To Astoria-Ditmas Blvd. Extending the or to Secaucus Junction or Newark. Extending the in to The Bronx to the area of North Riverdale, extend the to Mt Vernon in Westchester County and the to Pelham in Westchester County, extend the to Yonkers; extend the to Staten Island; extend the to JFK Airport, extend the & to LaGuardia Airport; extend the to Mineola as well the , or to areas like Locust Manor, Rosedale and Valley Stream and finally the Rockaway Beach shuttle to Coney Island via the Marine Parkway Bridge and Shore Parkway and meeting with the & between Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay Edited March 22, 2016 by jasonbxny0619 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DailyDose Posted March 27, 2016 Share #3983 Posted March 27, 2016 My idea is to extend the existing Line to Astoria. 21st St - Astoria Ditmars Blvd. Hoyt Ave. 30th Ave. Broadway 36th Ave - Ravenswood 21st St. - Queensbridge 47th Ave - Van Alst The existing Court Sq. is extended to Queensboro Plaza and made a separate extension much like the to Ozone Park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was mine to Astoria: runs as it does now to Court Square, then goes elevated, coming out of portal between Court Square and Queens Plaza, stopping at a new elevated station above the existing Queens Plaza station (with transfers to the and . The then joins the / after Queens Plaza and makes all current stops to Astoria. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewYorkElevated Posted March 28, 2016 Share #3985 Posted March 28, 2016 It's been a long time since I last posted here. Anyways... Have the South Ferry loop open during rush hours. This is in-case any delays occur in the new station during some type of event. Also (if this is possible), send one train to South Ferry during the AM & PM rush. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted March 28, 2016 Share #3987 Posted March 28, 2016 It's been a long time since I last posted here. Anyways... Have the South Ferry loop open during rush hours. This is in-case any delays occur in the new station during some type of event. Also (if this is possible), send one train to South Ferry during the AM & PM rush. They aren't going to keep the loop station open "just in case" anything happens. And they sure as hell aren't sending the down there during peak periods. Disregarding the tremendous potential for delays having all three Lexington Ave trains on the same tracks will cause, there just isn't any real need for the to run down to the Battery. Local riders can transfer to the or for continuing service. When the island platform at South Ferry reopens, they will close the loop station and those tracks will only be used for reroutes and car moves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RailRunRob Posted March 28, 2016 Share #3989 Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) LIRR Bay Ridge line ( Central Line ) 2 tracks electrified for Rail 600-650V nominal 3rd Rail system 1 freight. Central line wouldn't share any trackage with standard subway Rolling stock. And could run modified NTT’s or M7/M9 Rolling stock to allow use of the line under FRA guidelines or and or possibly the Hellgate Bridge.

There are ones for the full Archer Av extension somewhere that look very similar... Just did some reading on the RX this really would be a fair easy investment on the existing infrastructure. Could also link the old Rockaway Line in as well. How you upload files? want to uploads some tracksmaps and some possible timetable's for headways. Here's my basic overall plan for the Rockaway Branch. A new C division so to speak The Rockaway Branch would share it’s trackage with Queens Blvd Local trains. From Howard Beach to Yellowstone Blvd. As well as IND Fulton trains from Howard Beach to Rockaway Blvd. The Rockaway Rolling stock would consist of modified NTT or M7/M9 cars like it’s sister line the Central Line. 2,3,4 tracks 600-650V nominal 3rd Rail system Possible routes and short turns LGA to JFK via Rockaway Branch JFK to Jackson Heights JFK to Co-Op City Via HellGate (Bold depicts a terminal station) *Short turns ** Substation Miles (0) Howard Beach -JFK , (1.5) Liberty Ave ** Whitepot Yard (2.14) Atlantic Ave LIRR (2.5) Jamaica Ave , ** (3.12) Myrtle- Forest Park (3.82) Metropolitan Ave (4.18) Yellowstone Blvd ** splits to Manhattan via Queens Blvd (B Division) via LIRR main line. joins Central Line (LIRR Bay Ridge Line) (6.70) Queens Blvd (7.23) Roosevelt- Broadway * (7.82) Northern Blvd (Central Line Trains to Bronx) ** (8.37) 25th Ave (9.04) 82nd Street (9.89) LGA Edited March 29, 2016 by RailRunRob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewYorkElevated Posted April 3, 2016 Share #3998 Posted April 3, 2016 Maybe this would be more sensible. Do a and swap. The gets 5-car R160's and one 4-car R46 for rush hours and the gets R68's and 68A's. This swap would occur every spring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
