Posted by Edwards! on Mon Aug 26 01:59:20 2013, in response to Re: Essex- After the IND, posted by Elkeeper on Sun Aug 25 21:00:04 2013. NOT EXACTLY..There were different concepts drawn up for the S4th/Beaver/Bushwick ave subway route from the west and east of the Bushwick/Troutman st station.. 1] 2 tracks to Myrtle ave into Queens,where it would be joined by a route from the QB line along Fresh Pond Road. these routes would then travel to the LIRR row through Forest park to the Rockaway line[on its own row],where one route split off to southeast Queens along 120th ave to Foch Blvd. the other would basically be what we have today..except the Rockaway park branch would terminate further along near 150th. 2]4 tracks for the UTICA AVE SUBWAY..to southern Brooklyn Sheepshead bay.this was the continuation of the 6th avenue express service,plus 8th ave locals from Worth st subway. Another set of plans had the Broadway El eliminated completely..replaced by a 4 track subway at least as far as Cypress Hills,where it would be joined by two tracks from the 14th st line,continuing along the present day el along Jamaica ave. along with the above,4 tracks would branch off along Flushing ave to the proposed Long Island thruway[today's LIE along Horance Harding blvd]to northeast Queens. The Second avenue route would add two tracks from its Houston st station,joining the 6th ave exp tracks at Essex st/Houston to new river tunnels...while a branch from the 8th ave local's Worth st subway cut across a section of lower Manhattan's Federal court district to the lower east side,then to the S4TH st route via a new river tube and Broadway Brooklyn. can you imagine what that would be like,with all that rail traffic? fantasic.. |
