Construction halted on all subway projects in January 1942. I doubt much had been done on the Pitkin Ave segment prior to the opening of the the 6th Ave IND in December 1940. The map itself suggests that the overall plan of the line was NOT formalized, an absolute must before construction begins.One wonders how the subway would look had the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec 7th, 1942. |
