The problems with one-way loops are that they are basically only convenient 50% of the time, which cuts ridership potential. 

Terminating at Essex would be better and require less construction, since I don't think such a local line needs to be all that busy and need two full terminating tracks.

And that is what I later on proposed, along with my idea for a split that would between them run from 95th to Jamaica Center, with both lines terminating at Chambvers ( from Jamaica Center-Chambers with a few rush hour trains to Broad, from Chambers-95th Street at all times that would eliminate the late-night  shuttle since those needing Whitehall specifically could switch to the anywhere between 59th and Court).  

Agreed. Either you run a very low-frequency service around a single-track loop (like the elevated People Mover in Downtown Detroit) or you run two different services that run opposite directions around a double-track look (like CTA does with the Purple and Brown lines, both of which make the same stops on Chicago’s North Side ‘L’ between Belmont and Merchandise Mart, but then go their separate ways around the Loop before turning back north again). The second option is bad, because it requires reverse-branching two services on the less-busy outer portion of the line, in order to have an equal amount of trains running in both directions around the loop. But you end up with less service on the busier downtown loop stations, so it isn’t worth it.

Terminating both the  and  at Chambers from opposite sides is a terrible way to operate trains that will benefit no one. Even if you continue a few rush hour  trains south to Broad, it’s still going to be a big bottleneck at Chambers. I wouldn’t be surprised if that played a role in the old ’s demise. Better dispatching and platform conductors won’t help either. 

I’m fine with doing a  /  split. But let’s do it like this (I suggested this plan during last year’s split-the-  discussion, but with different letters):  

- Eliminate skip stop service entirely.

-  makes all stops between Jamaica Center and Broadway Junction. During weekday mornings,  runs peak express between Broadway Junction and Marcy Ave. Weekday afternoons, it runs peak express between Marcy and Broadway Junction. The  will still terminate at Broad St at all times. 

-  gets a complete makeover (possibly with a different letter) in which it runs at all times between Broadway Junction and 95th Street-Bay Ridge, replacing the  as the primary 4th Avenue Local. The  will make all stops between Broadway Junction and Marcy; take the  for express service. 

-  runs between 71st Avenue and Whitehall St all times except overnight hours. Replaced by  in Brooklyn, so the late night  shuttle is eliminated. 

-  runs between Astoria and Bay Ridge on the same weekday hours it currently runs to supplement the . 

-  is unchanged, so still late nights via Montague. Maybe it can finally run express between Canal and 34th on weekends.

Now, personally, I’m only suggesting this plan as a relatively easy way to split the  without building brand new infrastructure. I’d much rather eliminate the  merge at 34th and be able to run more trains per hour on all four Broadway services. But to do that would require the primary 4th Avenue local service to be a Broadway service, not a Nassau St service.

I agree. Although, I'd also advocate an  service via Sea Beach Express from Coney Island to 8 Av, then via your  line to Chambers (Essex during peak), except during the peak, then the  runs local on 4th, and the  runs fully express on Sea Beach, and express on 4th.

So:

Weekends/non-rush:

 LOCAL on 4th

 express Kings Hwy to Coney Island

 EXPRESS on 4th

 local Kings Hwy to Coney Island

Weekday rush:

 LOCAL on 4th

 EXPRESS on 4th

 FULL EXPRESS on Sea Beach (peak-direction), extended to Essex.

I would personally love for the Sea Beach express tracks to be put into service, but let's not make  riders' commutes much more miserable to accommodate an extra low-demand service.

This is an interesting idea. In fact, something like this was proposed before the BQX idea ever came to be. I believe that the Brooklyn Historic Railway Association were huge advocates for advocating for a Red Hook Streetcar in the 1990’s before the city deemed their idea infeasible.

I have edited the map - trains now have a different routing ant terminate at Hoyt-Schemerhorn. Thoughts now?

BTW, the Boerum Pl station would have a free connection with the  at Boro Hall and the  at Jay St. These trams would use OMNY ONLY! So, free transfer with OMNY.

This may have happened already in the 346 pages of this thread, but I didn't find anything in my search, so I'll ask here.

What do people here think would be the best option to resolve the congestion issues at Dekalb? My understanding is that by having the 6 Av routes on the north manh bridge tracks and the Broadway routes on the south, there would be less (or no more at all) crossover/merging issues at Dekalb. I had this idea the other day, but I don't know if it makes sense, so I was hoping to have some holes poked in it:

 and  [run the same in Manhattan in the Bronx]:

  runs the same as it does now

  runs as the  does now. The  and  both take the express track at Dekalb.

 runs as it does now.

 runs as the  does now on the Brighton Line.

I don't see there being a huge issue with this, because Broadway and 6 Av have plenty of transfer opportunities and are already pretty close as it is. Would a rider from the Brighton line who works near Bryant Park be super inconvenienced to now have to get off at Times Sq?

People riding from Sea Beach to Astoria or Brighton to the Bronx already had a pretty burdensome commute as is. I think the trade-off of less congestion-related delays makes up for the now-needed transfer.

And, to add capacity, totally unrelated the DeKalb interchange, would it also make sense to run the  Astoria to Bay Ridge and terminate the at 9 Av on the West End? I don't see a use in adding West End express service, especially now that a cleared up interchange will make West End service better to begin with.

The  idea is interesting. And adding an express stop to Sea Beach sounds good if it is feasible. Would Chambers need to have a control room added/restored to help trains turn around during non rush hour? Also, would the Mott St station be on Mott and Canal? Tunnel access to the Other Canal st Stations or OOS transfer?

Edit: further question: is the demand for more south BK service to Lower Manhattan large enough to grant this renovation?

Separate post for a truly dumb idea:

  Rush hour only
Church Avenue  
7 Av  
Bergen St   (since this is a dumb idea anyway, let's assume the lower platform is restored)
Jay St-Metrotech  
High St  
Fulton St  
Chambers St-WTC Park Pl  

Turning around after Chambers St would require the T.O. to walk through the car from end to end though. But like I said. Dumb idea. For added dumbness, you can have the train terminate after 14 St by running up to the layaway track after 23 St and doing the same procedure. Again. Dumb. But possible!

If you’re going to do this, why not layup trains on the Middle Track between Chambers and Canal Streets?

At Chambers, s would terminate in the inner two tracks, s would use the outer two. Some rush-hour s would be cut back to Chambers, using the middle tracks.

Mott St Station would be on Canal St, from Elizabeth to Mulberry, with exits at Elizabeth and Mott. The Mulberry end of the station would have a tunnel to the  platforms, where you could connect to the rest of the Canal St complex. There would be an OOS transfer from Mott St  to Grand St . This would also mean that you could transfer from the  to the .

Thoughts?

Also, I have once again edited my Red Hook map. @Snorunts, this is what I was talking about in the bus thread.

@YungMarxian If you’re trying to propose Culver Express Service, then a much simpler idea (one that won’t interfere with the  and ) would be to make 5 ’s go Express and the other 10 go Local. In addition to that, you could also boost  service by having it run 15-16 TPH and boosting it to 8 cars. If you want to spice things up, you could terminate some  trains at 18th Avenue as opposed to Church Avenue.

Lol yeah that would definitely make a lot more sense, and in the real world, I would actually like to see this over that . Could Culver handle 25 TPH from Bergen to Church? I don't know the maximum throughputs of the different lines.

I just had this weird (yes, I know that this will sound really weird and probably ridiculous) idea for a new  in a similar alignment to the  proposal... but with a slight twist.
A new connector near Bowery/Grand Street would have to be put into place in order for this to work, or you could be ridiculous and reverse the train at Essex. Anyway, here is my weird plan (probably very limited rush hour service only):
Orange  \ Sea Beach Express \ 4th Avenue Local \ Nassau \ Sixth Avenue Local \ Second Avenue

Coney Island  
Kings Highway  
(Option to go local or express to 59th Street after)
59th Street

All 4th Avenue Local stops to DeKalb, then continuing via the Montague Tunnel to the Nassau line:

Broad Street

All Nassau stops to Chambers or Canal Streets. If to Chambers, then a connection can be made to Grand Street  , or of to Canal, then an additional connector before Bowery would have to be made. If both options unavailable, then the train proceeds to Essex Street and then reverses to the Sixth Avenue Line.

All 6th Avenue local stops are made to Lex-63rd, then via the Second Avenue Line to:

96th Street
