R Train Route Split Between Brooklyn and Manhattan
Sector: Rail • Location: New York City, New York, United States
Source: amNewYork
Proposal to split the R train route so that trains traversing Brooklyn do not continue to Manhattan, with Brooklyn service stopping at Court Street and Queens-Manhattan service spanning Whitehall and 71st Avenue stations. This would mimic a similar split done in 2013 during superstorm Sandy-related repairs to the Montague Tunnel.
