From info I have seen, both the IRT extension down Nostrand and the IND Utica/Stuyvesant subway were to be elevated from approximately Ave M on south. One of the proposals, most likely post unification, called for the Utica subway (or at that point el structure) to turn west along Ave S where Utica and Flatbush Avenues merge cross Marine Pk and connect with the IRT el structure and continue as a 4 track structure down Nostrand Av to Emmons Av in Sheepshead Bay. Some of the plans called for the el structures to be encased in concrete similar to the Rockaway els or the Smith St Line structure. On Nostrand, the IRT would have used one set of tracks and the IND would have used the other similar to the BMT/IRT arrangement at Qnsbro Plaza. |
