Posted by tunnelrat on Sat Aug 24 23:08:37 2013, in response to Re: Essex- Before the IND, posted by Handbrake on Sat Aug 24 21:48:56 2013. they are provisions to run trolley cars over the subway tracks to chambers st.& then over the Brooklyn bridge via the Brooklyn bridge ramps that were put in by the DEPT OF BRIDGES,NOT THE BRT in 1910.I have seen only a few lines written about this unique operation that never took place in an old ERA bulletin.I have no idea if trolley wire was to be strung in the tunnels or the trolleys were to be equipped with 3rd rail shoes or where the trolleys were to have stops & how would they get passengers off a low platform trolley onto a high platform subway station.apparantely this was a hot item because several trolley companies bid on it. anyone have further info on this? |
