Posted by andy on Mon Sep 12 12:11:33 2011, in response to Re: Question - Dyre Avenue Line, posted by Stephen Bauman on Mon Sep 12 09:38:03 2011. For purposes of public information, the Dyre Ave. Line was always advertised as an IRT line, and of course was reconstructed to IRT clearances since its original rolling stock was a group of ex-IRT 9th Ave. El cars. But since there was no physical connection to the IRT White Plains Line till 1957, the line was crewed and dispatched separately and was officially considered an IND line.Once the connection opened in 1957 the Dyre branch of course was officially an IRT line. I am very familiar with the 1948 map and it shows Dyre Ave. as IRT because to show an IND (red line) route would just confuse the public. |
