Posted by renee gil on Mon Aug 26 02:24:54 2013, in response to Re: Essex- After the IND, posted by tunnelrat on Sun Aug 25 20:01:13 2013. There is a closed passageway with a crossover to Bedford Avenue at the north end of the upper level along with a closed exit to Arlington Place. The closed passageway was built for a transfer to an proposed Bedford Avenue Subway, which is why the overpass was placed there. There might a shell station at this location. There is an emergency exit at that location is in fact the superstructure for an Bedford Avenue subway. The lower level has a curtain wall separating the two tracks and inside are two additional trackways. From the northbound platform’s south end a hole in the wall allows a bright flashlight beam to show those trackways.just outside of nostrand ave station, there is some sort of provision in the tunnel structure for the eventual construction for an Bedford Avenue subway. The tunnel roof is unusually high to provide the space for the construction for the future subway. It's interesting to note that all the proposed IND Second System or even the "Third System" lines, there seems to be the least information about an Bedford Avenue subway other than that one was proposed. That may also be why there are only minimal provisions for its construction as opposed to other lines of the IND Second System. |
