Posted by Joe Saitta on Mon Sep 12 17:26:29 2011, in response to Re: Question - Dyre Avenue Line, posted by Mark S. Feinman on Mon Sep 12 14:27:08 2011. Going back to this particular 130-page volume of official information, the extension of the IND 78=Fulton Street route eastward was mentioned, but only via the eastern section of the BMT's Fulton Street Elevated on Liberty Avenue (nothing on 76th Street and beyond). There was also mention of plans/construction of the IND extension to 179th Street, the connection and rehabilitation of the BMT's Culver Line to the IND subway then terminating at Church Avenue, and the construction of the 60th Street Tunnel connecting the BMT and IND, among others.This appears to make the mystery of 76th Street Station even deeper, as by 1945 surely the tunnel to that area would have been built or at least mentioned, but it was not. While the exact routing plan for connecting the IND Fulton Street Line with the BMT Fulton Street Elevated was not given, it did mention the approximate cost of this connection ($3.650,000). I've just acquired a huge collection of trolley and subway books (and will be posting many of them on eBay for those interested - site name JPSPCC699), perhaps one of the official NYCTS volumes, if there are any more, might shed some light on other mysteries of the subway which always seem to appear from time-to-time. |
