Widening the Steinway Tunnels for this to be feasible is even harder than converting the Contract 1-2 IRT to Division B specs.

Thanks for that information. It still means that you've got 1210 people per 11-car A-division train vs. 1450 people per 10-car B-division train. That means 240 more people per train.

The NYCT Subway Car Loading "Guideline Capacities" are as follows":<BR/><BR/>For 51' long A-division cars = 110 people per car<BR/><BR/>For 60' long B-division cars = 145 people per car<BR/><BR/>That is equal to a Volume to Capacity ratio (V/C) of 1.00<BR/><BR/>On an absolutely crush loaded train, you would see higher numbers than these, but not by much. Maybe up to a V/C of 1.10 or so. Most
