Some Experiments with QGIS with elevation, temperature and other conditions

 

To be explained soon.

Another Anniversary

 Hi Folks:

   Sorry that I did not add any new material to this blog.   This month in 1975 our beloved Culver Shuttle has stopped running.  When I pass Ditmas Avenue on the "F" train, and view 37th Street going west,  I wonder how it would be if the Culver Shuttle survived?  Certainly today there is a lot people going from western Flatbush, Gravesend and Midwood into Borough Park.  A writer at subchat would like to reinstate the Culver Shuttle.  Unfortunately,  the United States has a great deal of problems now and bringing back the Culver Shuttle is below the radar.  The PRW has be built over on 37th Street just leaving the narrow area directly above 37th Street as a path.  The writer mentions perhaps a two tier system with another deck over the Ditmas Avenue Station.  Even if the MTA had billions excess dollars,  a complicated project like this would not be built in 20 years.   And some of us do not have 20 years left.    I would opt for light rail on 37th Street going into the yard and to Ninth Avenue lower level.   At Ditmas avenue,  perhaps a ramp can be constructed from 37th Street going directly to the unused pocket.   The wires added lately, would need to be removed.  Perhaps the Culver Shuttle Light Rail can stop underneath the Ditmas Avenue Station and branch out north to Church Avenue or south to 18th Avenue.  I am not sure about the clearance and the incline angle from 37th Street and Dahill Road to the unused former track at Ditmas Avenue.   We can always dream .
