Imagine if the MTA reactivated the former LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch for the subway? Plans would be to extend either the G or M (the M would be used for this example) to the Rockaways to help provide a faster trip for subway riders. Here, you have A and M trains running to the Rockaways with the M using the former branch for service. Yes, I'm aware the announcements are spliced horribly but I did my best.

If QueensLink were to be an actual thing, a subway rider who lives along Queens Blvd would have two choices getting to JFK Airport by subway:

- E to Sutphin Blvd and taking the AirTrain
- M to Howard Beach and taking the AirTrain

The MTA could take it to the next level by extending a subway line that terminates at JFK, or even making a whole new subway line that exclusively connects JFK and LaGuardia Airports together. Knowing the MTA though, that seems more a fever dream if anything...

Here's a link to a concept map showing the QueensLink project. www.vanshnookenraggen.com/_index/wp-content/upload…

I support any projects that would help improve service for all subway riders (deinterlining, etc).

    queenslink better become a reality. queens barely has any subway lines running, especially the middle of the borough. queenslink can help expand ridership, it brings the G back to QBL, it brings back the old lirr atlantic av-woodhaven station, it has some parts of queensway that makes it useful, and it brings back the old lirr rockaway beach branch for service. its a HUGE win, we dont need another high line in queens.

    Nice. It would be nice to see the M train go to the rockaways. I hope they do make the decision to do the Queens Link soon.

    Hey Adam, it’s been a while. Your content never gets old, keep doing what you’re doing broski. I haven’t been posting much videos is cuz I just finished a Train Op Test for MTA and waiting for my results💯🔥
  • @harrykatsos
    Can u make a version where the north section of the line is expanded fully from 2 tracks to 4 tracks and a train from the queens bypass line running local while the queenslink runs express?
  • @durece100
    Some M trains would terminate at from Rockaway Park-Beach 116th street to Lower East Side-2nd Avenue for mid-days and weekends.

    I have an interesting request. Have this take place during the 90’s. Canal Street. J and M. Instead of using the Z, have some rush hour L trains run between Rockaway Parkway and Chambers Street in that scenario.

    Euclid Ave (A) (C) (F) ? I know (F) trains were once rerouted to Euclid but I don’t think (C) trains were running on the line then. I’d think it would be (A) to Far Rockaway and (C) to Lefferts on the express track and (F) trains terminating on the local track

    welp like the brown M announcement with the Manhattan bound part, but nice video.
  • @B345T1N355Official
    I got a couple other good ideas: Grand St (B) (D) South Ferry (1) (R) (W) 7th Ave-53rd St (B) (D) (E) Broadway-Lafayette St (6) (B) (D) (F) (M) (Q) (V) DeKalb Ave (ft. abandoned Myrtle Ave station) (B) (Q) (R) (W) 125th St (4) (5) (6) (Q) (T)

    I have a request for railfaning Broadway junction (2019) (L) on the (J) platform to Lorimer from L train project and of course some (J) trains there too put a R179 on the (L) for an easter egg

    I think that if the QueensLink is a reality, it should be an extension of the Rockaway Park Shuttle. Having the M operating to the Rockaways seemed problematic.
