	Last Down-town Tunnel Holed Through (July 1917) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The south headings of the Whitehall-Montague Street Tunnel underneath the East River were "holed through" on June 20 [1917], by a blast "fired" by Chairman Oscar S, Straus.
		Word was flashed up from the tunnel by telephone to the waiting gathering that the blast through the 8 feet of rock which had intervened between the two headings had been highly successful and that the meeting of the two headings was, from an engineer's standpoint, a perfect one.
		Thereupon the party descended to the bottom of the tunnel shaft, inspected the working of the air locks at the entrance to the tunnels and then walked through a partially completed portion of the land section of the tunnel underneath Montague Street.

		And it's the line's Chambers Street station, whose uptown platform is largely unchanged for at least six decades, that I still believe fervently is the true face of the NYC subway system.
		Plans to connect the Chambers Street station to el service on the Brooklyn Bridge were on the books before construction of the station started, and the ceiling of the station was built especially high to accommodate such a connection, but it remained unbuilt.
		After the Nassau Street line was finished in 1931 the eastern platform at Chambers Street was closed, as well as the center platform; a station mezzanine is now in the basement of the Municipal Building, and there are also some closed staircases.

	Plan for High-Speed Rail to Kennedy Airport - Wired New York Forum
		It involves appropriating the Cranberry Street tunnel used by the A and C subway lines, but it would require rerouting the C line to the F line tunnel, a prospect that has upset commuter groups.
		Using a new tunnel or the Montague Street tunnel would eliminate the idea, central to two alternatives, of sharing the Cranberry Street Tunnel on the A and C lines.
		Originally, the governor proposed building a new tunnel, using the Montague Street tunnel, using the Cranberry Street tunnel now serving the A and C subway lines, or another option in which both the Montague and Cranberry street tunnels would be used.

		At the intersection at 5th street, at the traffic light, there will be a playground to your right and across the street, on your left, a school.

		Another article describes the technology and its problems in more detail: "...the main trouble by which the first management lost considerable money, (and probably the cause of the breaking of the company financially,) were the costly experimental contrivances intended for the propulsion of the trains.
		Another safety hazard was at 53rd Street and Ninth Avenue, where gripmen going around a tight pull curve at full speed had their view impaired by an elevated structure.

		The wheels of the Juggernaut Progress roll along the street and their victims are many, but the victories of peace atone for all the strife, and humanity goes its way, cursing and praying, weeping and singing, fighting and loving, but on the whole advancing from the beast to the angel.
		The streets of the section south of Market are parallel or at right angles to that thoroughfare, while the district to the north is laid out in streets which run on other lines, making gore blocks at every intersection with Market.
		The streets were crowded with perils-wagons, carts, automobiles; great, straining horses pulling huge trucks; and monstrous cable and electric cars hooting and clanging through the midst, screeching their insistent menace after the manner of the lynxes he had known in the northern woods.

		The Nassau Street Branch is not only in the interests of the Company, but in the interests of the car rider, for its construction would tremendously improve the efficiency of the service between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
		The 14th Street Line and Nassau Line were important parts of the system to which this Company agreed and they arc essential to rendering of proper service on the lines now in operation in Brooklyn and Queens.
		The completed 14th Street Line would relieve Canal Street and the Nassau-Broad Line would allow loop operation with full use of the four tracks on the Manhattan Bridge and thus permit approximately 90 trains, or 50% increase, to be operated through DeKalb Avenue station with corresponding increase on each of the outlying lines.

		A 3rd option is to build a new tunnel (the most expensive option by far), and a 4th option is to use both the A and M tunnels, thereby causing the least disruption...
		The Port Authority in the early 1990s were studying building a one seat ride from JFK to Laguardia then into Manhattan via the 63rd street tunnel, they then would have built a Airtrain terminal on the Upper East side of Manhattan by Grand Central.
		Tunnels would have to be excavated to twice the height of conventional tunnels to support a guideway, if you could show a picture of a Maglev in an underground tunnel I would be interested.

		"Montague and Cranberry Tunnel Combination" -- Both the Cranberry and Montague Street Tunnels would be used to link Lower Manhattan to the Atlantic station for this option, and new Brooklyn tunneling also might be needed.
		In May 2004, Pataki announced the results of the coordinated study, recommending that the best approach would be to build a new tunnel under the East River between Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan, creating direct service from the World Trade Center to the Long Island Rail Road’s Jamaica Station.
		Once the tunnel was constructed, the rail line could utilize the existing Montague Tunnel to complete the link.

		The feasibility study concluded that the recommended approach would be to build a new tunnel under the East River between Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan, creating direct service from the World Trade Center to the Long Island Rail Road's Jamaica Station.
		The new tunnel would allow for a 40% faster commute from Jamaica for Long Island commuters and will provide a one-seat ride to JFK Airport.
		The new tunnel will add much needed capacity to the region's transit system and has the potential to provide a future East River connection for the Second Avenue Subway or the E Train.

		The north end of both platform extensions are split with the "express" portion being lower than the "local" portion as the express tracks descend to the Montague St. tunnel.
		At the north end of the original station, where the 1950s extension begins, is a switch well between the 'tunnel' and 'bypass' tracks.
		There is the remains of a turning loop, a larger version of the City Hall loop on the IRT East Side line, in the tunnel between DeKalb Avenue and Manhattan Beidge.

		Loss of the N and R thru lower Manhattan between Canal and Whitehall results in the extension of the J and M trains thru the Montague Street tunnel to the former R and N terminals.
		The most significant element is the use of the Williamsburg Bridge-Broad Street-Montague Street tunnel to serve the N and R in Brooklyn.

	Gotham Gazette: Proposed Rail Link
		The central part of the governor's plan is to construct a three mile tunnel from the Long Island Railroad's existing Atlantic Terminal in Brooklyn, under the East River and terminating at Fulton Street in Lower Manhattan. There would also be a new 1,500 foot connector between AirTrain and LIRR tracks in Jamaica, Queens.
		The LIRR service is expected to attract "up to" 100,000 riders per day; as many as 6,000 riders are expected to use the JFK connection daily. The line could be up and running by 2013.
		The governor pledged not to allow the tunnel and rail link to compete with other projects for funding. Transit advocates, however, fear that a new tunnel will eventually compete with other projects, principally the Second Avenue Subway, for scarce dollars.

		Especially it shows that "south" on several lines (including the BMT Jamaica Line, the IND Fulton Street Line and the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line) that run in an easterly to northerly compass direction for their entire route are nevertheless running railroad south.
		The southern end of the Eighth Avenue Line platforms at West 4th Street station was established as chaining point 969+25, being 96,925 feet (18.357 miles) from the zero point.
		When the IND Division incorporated the formerly BMT Culver Line into its system in 1954, the line was resignalled from BMT chaining line C to IND chaining line B, all the way to the end of Culver chaining at the approach to West Eighth Street-New York Aquarium and the chaining distances recalculated from IND zero.

		After the Canal Street change, they instead cut away the left side wall of the upper level to connect with the tracks from the lower level to Brooklyn.
		The Canal Street Station on the Bridge tracks is located on an east-west line just east of the station where we will be stopping; that station is also used as a walkway for transfers between other lines that share this mega-station.
