Posted by randyo on Fri Aug 3 19:11:47 2012, in response to Re: Unbuilt Stuff, posted by renee gil on Fri Aug 3 19:00:41 2012. You're welcome. It seems the more I look at this thread, the more things I come up with. I have heard that behind the bulkhead at the end if the Flatbush Av station on the IRT Nostrand Line, the tunnel infrastructure and trackways continue for a couple of blocks since the line was eventually supposed to be extended farther down Nostrand at least to Ave U although some sources have indicated that it would have eventually come out onto an el structure at the extreme south end. Also in the 38 St Cut there is an indentation on the right side of the portal as soon as the trains emerge form the 4 Av Subway and at the opposite end of the covered portion of the cut towards the south, there are trackways merging with the existing line but I don't know how far back into the cut they go. In that same are just N/O 9 Av station there are 2 ramps that go up from the existing West End ROW towards what we used to call the "5 Av Yd." The old timers have told me that they were never used and I suspect that they were intended as a more direct route from the Culver and West End trains to access the 5 Av El. As operated, the 5 Av El trains used the present yard leads which meant they had to go through the yard and the unused ramps were probably intended to bypass the yard. |
