But we're talking about grown up train lines :) - ty97 Jan 13, 18:57 5
- Ha! Sure, it carries much fewer riders but it's still the same idea. They shared one tunnel going back and forth. - Krusty Jan 13, 19:03 4
  - It seems like it would be much more useful to a lot of folks if it continued to Roosevelt Ave, as I think it can. - ty97 Jan 13, 19:07 3
    - It used to go out to 71st Ave and Kew Gardens. I guess they felt there wasn't enough ridership to keep it going out there. - Krusty Jan 13, 19:14 2
      - I think I read that there was just too much congestion from the E/F/M/R trains that the line could not also handle the G. - ty97 Jan 13, 19:16 1
        
        I didn't know that. It went to Queens Plaza for a while when I first got here but they cut it to Court Sq. - Krusty Jan 13, 19:36
