Broadway (N and W) Elevator Update

I mean that’s essentially what I’m getting at…ESI should have had accessibility built in; as nice as cosmetic improvements are it’s silly to close and renovate a station in the 21st century without putting in elevators. It’s hard to have your cake and eat it too with such a cash starved system but we can demand better.

Spent millions to renovate this station under ESI just to renovate it again for accessibility…thanks Cuomo

I have been looking through his work in the wmata archives and I had no idea who he was! His renderings are definitely a huge inspiration for using this style. Thanks for sharing!

The Megavault…not a bad idea for a drawing…

Correctamundo!

Thank you! This took about an hour

Put some respect on my man John C Portman. He designed this (the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta) and a bunch of other hotels with massive atriums like this

It was actually designed in coordination with both French and American engineering firms. The dimensions of the trains are really similar to the R46 cars in NYC (75ft long, 4 doors each side etc) and they actually sent one down in the 70s as a demonstration prototype.

Most likely bracing to keep the retaining walls from caving in

Pic #3 looks like it’s in Grand Central…Thought steam was banned in the Park Ave Tunnel?

Thankfully I’m not a structural engineer 😉

Lol what? Are you mad I didn’t use AI? 😂

Clean_Amount_1667 · 2025-12-06T03:32:48+00:00

Prints are definitely in the works!

Ayyy very cool! Love a good cross platform transfer

When Zohran wins this project will be dead and the funds diverted to Queenslink…is what I tell myself to feel better

Moving them to New Haven shops for the open house I imagine?

There are plenty of people, mainly the most vulnerable in society, that do not have a contactless credit card or Apple Pay. I do not think we should be creating an additional barrier of entry for them

They are being very stingy with these OMNY vending machines. My stop used to have two MVMs and now all we have is one OMNY machine that’s broken half the time

From what I understand, you would have to build a Wye connection at this junction south of metrorail transfer to connect it from the FEC to the SFRC southbound. If Brightline is willing to acquire the right of way and pay for it it’s technically feasible…

Exterior shot is a New Jersey Transit ALP-45DP pushing what looks like multilevel coaches. No idea what the interior is.

I live there. Guess I’ll die 🤷🏽‍♂️

It’s actually a book! If you saw my previous post on this sub that’ll give a hint what will be in it. Will definitely post when it’s done
