Reply to comment by Pinuzzo in Grand Central Madison, 15 stories underground, saves LIRR riders little time compared to Penn Station commute by bikeskata

The only problem with the 7 at Jackson Heights Roosevelt is its the local only there. Which I always forget. Because it seems like it should be an express stop.

When the 7 train was built out in the 1910's, they never envisioned the IND developing their own subway line under Queens Blvd and a transfer being built there.

Any subway line, rail line, roadway, that’s built with only one express that’s meant to alternate directions is a bad idea.

I know this doesn’t really apply to your comment but it’s close enough to bring out my frustration.
