Posted by Mitch45 on Thu May 23 10:24:47 2013, in response to tracks after 57th St/6 Av, posted by renee gil on Thu May 23 10:00:01 2013. I assume you mean "opened up for use" as a through station to 21st-Queensbridge? That happened in 1988, not 1989. And the station itself opened in 1968 as part of the 1967 expansion program.AFAIK, the tracks ended at bumper blocks just beyond the station although trackways might have gone a bit further before hitting a wall. The 63rd Street Tunnel was still in planning stages in 1968 and there was nothing for the tail tracks to connect to yet. I think there was a crossover just south of the station so that trains could enter either track before entering the station from the south. The station at 63rd/Lex was completed in 1983 but not opened to service until 1988. |
