Posted by renee gil on Mon Aug 26 13:35:30 2013, in response to Re: Essex- Before the IND, posted by randyo on Mon Aug 26 13:32:30 2013. from nycsubway.org:Before the 63rd street line the express tracks continued as layup spurs north of the station. However they were only about 400 feet long. Because they are tied together by a double crossing north of the station, the clear length is only 330 feet or so, not long enough for a six-car train of BMT Standards (just over 400 feet). Hence in historical times they were practically useless for layups or anything else. |
