Posted by Dyre Dan on Tue Jul 10 07:49:48 2012, in response to Re: 2012 Edition of Tracks of the NYC Subway, posted by The Silence on Tue Jul 10 01:07:40 2012. Why did they call it a "bunny hill"? Is that a term that was commonly used?It looks from the map that the 9th Ave. express ran nonstop from 66th St. to 116th St. That's almost as long as the run from 59th to 125th on the IND line that replaced it. I had no idea there were any express runs that long on the old els. Something else that confuses me about that map is the West Farms Yard that is shown in the Bronx just north of "E. 177th St." (West Farms Sq./E. Tremont Ave.) on today's 2/5 line. The yard leads are shown between the north end of the station and the turn to the east to E. 180th St. station. But there is no room there, the turn is immediately north of the station. I guess the station platforms may have been extended north of where they used to end, but it is still hard to imagine that this yard could have existed where this is shown. |
