Those seem to have been universally removed (from elevated stations). I seem to remember a couple of mid-60s platform lamps at Buhre Avenue and Middletown Road on the #6. There was also incandescent light under the station sheds at those stations. Also, a couple of remnants at 111th Street and 103rd-Corona Plaza on the #7 (signs). These may have been replaced by now. Incandescent light is pretty much a thing of the past. A few stations had it up until about 2007 - the last big underground station with incandescent light (in the mezzanine ONLY) was Fordham Road on the Concourse line, which was upgraded to flourescent in 2007. Platform-level incandescent light persisted into the late 1980's, with Church Avenue being the last to upgrade.wayne |
