Anyone else think it's a tad strange for the line to climb up steeply out of the 69th Street tunnel only to go across a level crossing (Christie Park Gate) and then start descending down towards Sirocco? It seems like a recipe for a lot of wasted power over the long term. I can't help but think it would have been better to just extend the tunnel past Christie Park Gate with the portal somewhere on the slope,
