Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Sat Mar 24 22:20:25 2012, in response to Re: Staten Island North shore cars (Re: And the R-179 contract goes to....), posted by Olog-hai on Sat Mar 24 22:09:50 2012. see the write up on nycsubway.org about the shift from street to underground. PCCs operated on the streets and in the old tunnels--Sunset Tunnel on the N Judah streetside stops both ends nothingt bunderground, and the Twin Peaks Tunnel from Castro/17th to West Portal. The latter had two "subway" stations--Forest Hill and Eureka. The Eureka platform is still there for emergency egress, Forest Hill was converted to high platform. In low platform days the West Portal stop was on the street--now it is a station built partially into the hill. |
