Posted by SelkirkTMO on Wed Jan 26 14:22:22 2011, in response to Re: 76th St area - Satellite (Re: Q About LTV Squad and 76th Street), posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Wed Jan 26 09:10:03 2011. Interesting map ... that'd explain it then. As to the population at the time, many new subway lines built to serve the inner portions were extended out into the middle of nowhere. When I was growing up, Riverdale in the Bronx was largely empty with small residential buildings and a few apartment buildings. That area didn't mushroom until the mid 1950's. Today, it could pass for Manhattan. Long before the IND was built, it was proven that if you built a subway to nowhere, once it was up and running the areas it served would also mushroom with construction.And given where it was headed - to Long Island and the Rockaways, I'm sure they expected some serious traffic on the lines ... |
