The sealed up 2 track tunnel under owls head park was NOT for the proposed bmt/sirt conn.under the bay.it was for a combo freight & passanger line from jersey connecting from a seperate[but equal] RR[B&O] line NOT connected to sirt.it was designed to conn.into the lirr at 5th.ave,bklyn.A 1930`s plan would have connected it into sirt.the bellmouths at 59st& 4th ave.would have been the original sirt,brt. conn.the brick walls at 59st are false walls.the tunnel extends for apx.30 more feet.on the concrete wall are giant feeder cables.I,ve seen this. |
