Posted by Handbrake on Sat Aug 24 21:48:56 2013, in response to Re: Essex- Before the IND, posted by gp38/r42 chris on Sat Aug 24 09:06:31 2013. On the south side of the Bridge Plaza is an emergency exits that was once a staircase the led to a track level mezzanine and fare control adjacent to Essex Tower. The existing stairway leading to the J2 track underpass and up to the middle platform, now closed to the public, was one way into the station.The trolley terminal had stairways up to the street, similar to the fake kiosks that are at the Manhattan side of the Queensboro Bridge. Plus there is a wide stairway that is behind the Essex Tower that connected to a mezzanine area that is at subway car platform height that led to staircases to the street. Behind that low level mezzanine located behind the tower, where a communications room is located, there are two unused trackways that face railroad south . These trackways appeared aligned with the Trolley terminal closest to J2 track. The Christie Street cut off appears to have disturbed those trackways, so it's difficult to determine if there was a merge with the main line to the south. There are interesting places in the Essex Street back area. Bad air an all. |
