Subway - What If?


VWM

Recommended Posts

Here's another one:

The 59th Street tunnel gets flooded due to a massive rain storm (4 inches in 3 hours). Running extra trains in the 53rd Street tunnel will not be an option, as there are emergency repairs in that tunnel. The 42nd Street tunnel is not a viable alternate, because 7 service is suspended due to flooding on multiple portions of the track, due to the same rainstorm.

 

Anyone who tackles this will need to address service on the E, F, M, N, R, and Q. I should also mention that everyone needs to be practical (not having 30 TPH in the 63rd Street tunnel).

 

Have fun!!!

 

(C) trains run via the (F) between Jay Street and West 4th

 

(E) replaces the (F) along 6th Avenue (21st-Queensbridge) to West 4th, then runs normal to WTC

 

(F) stops at Queens Plaza and replaces the (G) between Queens Plaza and Church Avenue

 

(G) is suspended

 

(M) runs to Metropolitan Avenue to 53rd Street-Lexington Avenue

 

(N) runs in two sections:

Coney Island-57th Street

Ditmars Boulevard-Queenboro Plaza

 

(Q) runs Coney Island-Times Square ONLY.

 

(R) runs via 63rd Street

 

As the elevated portion can not be flooded so easily, (7) runs between Court Square and Mets-Willets Point ONLY (some local service eastbound terminates at 111th Street, some westbound service terminates at Queensboro Plaza). For Manhattan and Brooklyn, take (7) to 74th Street-Roosevelt Avenue.

Where are they on one track except at W. 4th? That is inevitable. Some (A) trains also short turn at Canal Street.

 

 

If you look carefully, there is a way around the problem. Here's what I would do:

(A) Uptown trains run via the (F) line from Jay St to B'way Laf. After B'way, trains switch to the express tracks (to avoid interfering w/ (E) trains) and run via the (D) to 59 St.

(C) No trains between Chambers St and 34 St.

(E) Uptown trains run via the (M) line between West 4 St and 5 Av/53 St.

(F) Unaffected.

(M) No trains between Chambers St and 71 Av.

Well because the IND Sixth Avenue and BMT Broadway Lines are quite closer in Midtown Manhattan and same goes for the IRT Lexington Avenue Line. Check Google map. :)

 

The (D)(F), rerouted (R), as well as the (4)(6) trains, will be the best alternative for Broadway customers. ;)
