I neglected to mention 2 more provisions off the BMT that are worth mentioning. One is a pseudo bellmouth which is basically a slight widening of the tunnel infrastructure, coming of the Broad St bound lcl tk at the curve where the J line curves south from Delancey St into Centre St which I believe it was intended for a proposed 3 Av subway. The other is an actual 2 track bellmouth which due to the reconfiguration of the Manny B tracks in 1967 is no longer easily visible. These were about a block west of the current 6 Av Manny B tracks and were also intended as a connection to the proposed 3 Av subway. Prior to 1967, they were readily visible from the RFW of any N/B BMT train coming off the Manny B enroute to Canal St. |
