Posted by SLRT on Wed Jun 13 19:16:27 2012, in response to Re: Question About BMT 5th Avenue El, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Wed Jun 13 13:15:16 2012. Hudson Avenue had an active passenger crossing for less than two days. The 5th did not run again until curves were built at Hudson and Myrtle so the lines didn't conflict.Similarly, curves were built at Grand and Myrtle, so most Ridgewood trains could take the Old Main Line and Lex trains could take Myrtle. The BERR and the UERR did not formally merge until almost the turn of the century, but they were effectively the same management and shared considerable trackage. In an actual case of separate managements; i.e., the BERR/UERR vs. the Kings County, they did not have a level crossing, the 5th had to go under the Fulton. |
