That's not the way I remember it from a PSC report I have from circa 1915. The Lex was going to be a part of the IRT, but the IRT withdrew from the dual contracts in protest for not getting the 4 Av subway, When the PSC decided to award the new subway Lines in the Bronx and the Lex to the BRT and started building the connection from the lower Bway Subway up Lex, the IRT reconsidered and decided it would be satisfies with the lines it was awarded in Bkln so it got back the Lex, Pelham and Jerome lines and the lower Lex subway infrastructure was backfilled. |
