The only place there is a ciderblock wall is at the ends of A7 and A8 yard leads ad the wall was not there when I went in there in 1962. At that time there was no wall of any kind but there were mounds of black earth from the floor to the ceiling of the tunnel as if the rest of the tunnel(s) had been filled in at some point. When I went there next in 1983, the cinderblock walls had been erected. At the end of the "mainline" Pitkin Av subway S/O Euclid, there is a concrete wall which I have heard was only put there circa 1956 when the Grant Av station was being constructed and which replaced an earlier wooden wall which had been there since sometime around 1951 when it was decided not to continue further construction down Pitkin Av. What is interesting about that concrete wall is that it zigs slightly at track A1 making A1 track about 50 ft or so shorter than the other 3 tracks. Why that wall was built that way I don't know but there is some sort of a track map in one of the threads on tis subject that shows the oddly configured wall. |
