As continuously mentioned there are ideas out to use an old freight line to connect the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn to give more connections towards subway lines in the outer boroughs. Currently known as "Triboro X Line" it will connect to all except for 3 subway lines. The route since the majority of the route is essentially built already only stations and 3rd rail would have to be installed. However certain sections of the planned route only singles track and curves are extremely sharp leaving no availability for B division trains to be used leaving only 2 options: Return the 8 train and have 11 car trains operate the route or option 2 would be to have it operate as a light railway line. Your thoughts?
