Posted by Michael549 on Tue Mar 20 11:28:28 2012, in response to Re: The Connection Between WTC and Cortlandt St, posted by Edwards! on Mon Mar 19 18:23:36 2012. From a previous message:"The IND just didnt "come along"..it was a hodge podge of PLANNED BMT ROUTES that the city built with plans of turning them over to the BMT to operate . . ." I'd also add a hodge-podge of IRT elevated routes "converted" to IND planned or proposed trackage: IRT Ninth Avenue Elevated line (moved to Eighth Avenue, including the Polo Grounds) IRT Sixth Avenue Elevated line (follows the path along West 53rd Street, supporting the Sixth Avenue elevated line while constructing the Sixth Avenue subway line, re-joining the lines further downtown, etc.) IRT Second Avenue Elevated line (one removing the complete Second Avenue elevated line for the construction that is still yet to replace the whole line, notice how many of the plans for the Second Avenue subway wanted to replace or convert the IRT elevated lines in the Bronx on the #5, and #6 lines, plus the removal of the Third Avenue elevated line, etc.) Just a point that I wanted to add.
