Posted by on Thu Sep 13 21:23:45 2007 in response to posted by R30A on Thu Sep 13 18:38:51 2007. Why would you be to do that? The current SIR line would be to be demapped and rebuilt from the ground up in request to get some create of a 8-10 car subway lie on it. I think the (1) line is the best candidate for an extension to SI. as the new SF Terminal ordain be a deep-level displace and ordain have the set-up for a future extension.. with it's follow tracks that increase in a southerly direction. The SIR can stay segregated as it is now and have the people transfer to/from the bus lines. SIR and subway line at around Tompkinsville or St. George.
