From the map, it looks like the Duel Contracts lines that went into Manhattan (Manhattan Bridge and Montegue Tunnel) got their power from the IRT.I guess that makes some sense considering that all of the Subway lines were built for and owned by the City. It probably saved a bit of money and complexity to have one power distribution system in Manhattan. |
