Just to add to the above, the reason why it is usually not retrofitted in more modern times as well is the cost and complexity of running these extra connections which are rarely used. Whilst the workaround may not be ideal, its a perfectly viable workaround - so there is no incentive to "fix" the issue caused by what others have said above that created the issue in the first place.
@markydee483 жыл бұрын
@@Garfie489 to add a little more to what was said here, interlockings are a rather costly part of any transit or railroad system with a lot of emphasis on maintenance on the switches and signals that have many moving parts. So it isn't unusual to see RRs or transit systems eliminate redundant interlockings or switches to cut costs or to streamline operations, and NYCTA has done so multiple times and will continue to do so when need be. interlockings at very "strategic" locations are kept as an absolute necessity to not only route trains correctly but to allow movement of equipment when it is necessary on certain situations such as when track work is being done or even under emergency situations, or like the switches east of Queensboro Plaza on the N and 7 lines, which serve as the sole connection between the 7 line with the rest of the NYC subway system. The entire subway is like a big jigsaw puzzle and the pcs must fall into the right place. It is why you can run the E train down 6Ave and still go to WTC, or how the Q train can run down 6 Ave on the D line and still be able to rejoin it's line in Brooklyn. There is a method to the madness. Too bad that the front window has become a thing of the past now that R32s are going, because that was a very fun way to see the underworld and the mazes of tracks that make up the system.

The switch to between the local and express tracks at Broadway-Lafayette on the 6th Avenue subway was removed when the express tracks were realigned to go via the Manhattan Bridge (the express tracks originally went to 2nd Avenue, but when the Chrystie Street connection was built, the tracks ramp up over the local tracks to head to the Manhattan Bridge. As for the 1, 2, and 3 lines, it depends on the certain situation. If the South Ferry branch is closed, they will have 1 trains terminate at 14th Street and 2 and 3 trains go local to avoid elongating the 1 route. However, during the 56 weekends the Clark Street Tunnel was closed for Sandy Repairs, 3 trains terminated at 14th Street to prevent trains from being backed up.

Whenever any of the 6th avenue trains are rerouted to the 8th, it's always to the local tracks since the express tracks don't connect at West 4th. Since it was before my time, I wonder how the train to the bus to the plane was routed. I know it ran express on 6th ave but after W4 went to Chambers. I guess JFK-bound trains switched from express to local north of W4, then bypassed Spring and Canal on the local before using the normal crossover that the C train does after Canal. Does anyone have memories of that service and know how it ran?
