Posted by SLRT on Fri Jul 27 12:01:39 2012, in response to Elevated, posted by fordhamroad22 on Fri Jul 27 10:03:18 2012. A number of map companies distinguished between elevated division lines and subway lines. Hagstrom (who made the map you linked to) was notable for this. Where there was service from both (examples, the Myrtle Avenue Line north of Broadway, and IRT lines on which one of the Manhattan Elevateds ran with subway division trains (in Queens, and a number of Bronx lines)) the black elevated line ran down the middle of the colored subway line on the Hagstrom map.The IRT maps had a similar visual distinction. The BMT's own maps disguished physical subway or elevated portions by color. Thickness of the drawn lines indicated how many tracks. |
