LIRR Facility

[Andrew]

Is the LIRR Facility beneath Hudson Yards tall enough to allow multilevel coaches to travel through it?

Unless they are storing their diesel sets somewhere else, yes.

I'm not real sure that the LIRR actually stores any of the few diesel hauled multi-level sets in the Hudson Yards. I typically see them being deadheaded in & out when I'm at Woodside.

That said, since the Hudson Yards project is just barely getting started, I can't imagine that the LIRR and MTA would have allowed any design for the table that they'll build upon to prevent running multi-levels into the yard. If the overhead project had come before the yard, things might have been different. But to allow construction of something new to limit options would be unthinkable and silly.

Just asked around and they keep a couple sets there for rush hour and deadhead the rest as AlanB stated.
