Posted by randyo on Mon Aug 26 14:07:28 2013, in response to Re: Essex- Before the IND, posted by Edwards! on Mon Aug 26 11:36:33 2013. Correct. As part of Hylan's anti BMT vendetta, the stub tracks at Hudson Terminal were to have been connected to the BMT Bway Subway N/O Cortlandt St (which would probably have been abandoned), and the IND connected to a new tunnel utilizing the Bellmouths S/O Whitehall and connecting to the Court St IND (now museum) station. This of course would have limited the BMT tunnel service to Nassau St and made the City Hall station into a stub terminal for Bway local trains from Queens and midtown sort of how it was intended to be as originally designed as I mentioned in my other post. Under this scenario, what trains would have gone where especially if the Worth St subway had also been built is interesting to imagine. Also, if you look carefully at the switched S/O W4 St the tracks are configured so that the physically straightest routes would be from the 6 Av lcl tracks straight down to Canal and points south and the 8 Av local tracks to the Houston St Line. |
