They can just terminate the  on the downtown local track. They've done this before when the uptown express track is not available. Its better to just have the  end where it normally does, because even though it may not seem like much of a detour, rerouting trains to a different terminal means that the crew has to return that same train to the opposite terminal. Imagine you being a crew member on the train about to reach 145 St on the , and then at 125 St, you're told to reroute to 168 St. That means you need to turn your train around and return it to Brighton Beach. even more frustrating because then you lose your lay-over break.

Yeah, although it would hold up  trains either way (since those trains don't always leave immediately). In the scenario I listed out, you could have crews change on the upper level as well. Whether it's done on the way up or coming down, IDK (although I do think that changing on the way down would lead to the least amount of issues). It's not the most convenient setup, I know, but it beats having to take the train all the way to the other end. Plus it wouldn't have the potential to hold up as many trains either. For  trains to be using the downtown track at 145th lower as a terminal, plus having  through service, like everything needs to go right for it to work without delaying service.
