SwingMan wrote:Yard moves to VD Yard are also an important factor. They are essential to operation, and take up a good chunk of "open" track time. There are roughly a handful of moves into and out of VD Yard. Although the proximity of the yard physically is not far, the move into the yard takes up roughly one 10-20 minute slot on the main. This is due to the necessity of a reverse move to enter the yard leads. This limits how many trains can turn back east while these moves take place

Doubt it would not happen, especially with its shorter platforms, but what could Atlantic Terminal handle?
Return to Long Island Rail Road (LIRR)
