If The IND Second System had gone through as planned with no delays or distractions or depressions etc.... our subway system would have been different. you would not have had to walk more than a couple of blocks of your house to catch a train and the subway would even have reached into long island and possibly Westchester County. but along with those changes many lines would have changed. here some for example
---IRT White Plains Line (2) (5) and Dyre Branch in the bronx would have been IND, the cars used would have been B Division standards
---IND Second Avenue Subway would have connected to the IRT White Plains Road Line and the Second Avenue Line would have stretched all the way to throgs neck.
---The (A) would never have gone to the Rockaway's
---The (E) would have gone to Voorhies Avenue in brooklyn to my understanding
---And several branch lines to Staten Island
so if the IND Second System would have gone through would you like the system and think it would be more efficient than it is now?
