The axle weight of the Triplexes blew everything else out of the water. Even the BMT standards didn't come close. That's why they could and did run on the Jamaica line while the Triplexes could not. The 1885 segment above Fulton St. couldn't support that kind of axle weight.

That said, the Triplexes could have been used exclusively on underground routes and operated via tunnel.
