Here's a preview of how the Rockaway Beach Branch will look on the NYCTA DE map. As of 5/16/22, I've completed up to Aqueduct-North Conduit Av, as well as portions of the (A) Line between 80 St to 104 St. I came across environmental reports and studies courtesy of the MTA that went into detail on the potential revitalization of the Rockaway Beach Branch, and how that would play out in real life. That report was instrumental in helping me design this line and making it as location-accurate as possible. I'll leave links to the reports further below in the description. The Rockaway Beach Branch in the NYCTA DE will connect the IND Queens Blvd Line to the IND Rockaway Line. I made up my mind to send (M) trains down there, since I didn't want to make the (R) any longer than it already is, and there are only two stops that would get removed from the (M) that the (R) can easily cover on its own (67 Av and Forest Hills). During late nights and weekends when the (M) terminates at Myrtle-Broadway, Essex St, or Broadway Ferry, (G) trains will be extended from Court Square via Queens Blvd Local to Rockaway Park to serve those stations. All other times, (G) trains will terminate at Court Square as it does in real life. This way, there won't be any headway/over-capacity issues on Queens Blvd. This is similar to how the (G) service operated in the 2000s when it alternated with the (V) during nights and weekends. One original tweak I made to the Rockaway Beach Branch was on the Rockaway Park bound (G)(M) track after crossing under the Liberty Av EL. I created a ramp just after it passes under the EL, so it wouldn't get in the way of the oncoming (A) train merging in. The (A) train joins the Rockaway Beach Branch at grade, so had I not elevated that track, it would have to cross both the northbound and southbound (A) tracks directly, which would be a recipe for delays. By creating the ramp, they don't get in each other's way and service runs faster.
