Posted by randyo on Mon Aug 26 14:30:36 2013, in response to Re: Essex- After the IND, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Mon Aug 26 10:52:05 2013. If you look at the 1929 proposed map in this thread, you will note that the original plan for the IND Utica/Stuyvesant subway called for it to operate as a subway to Ave M, an el (Smith 9 St style) to Ave S, across Ave S to Nostrand and down Ave S to Emmons Av. The IRT Nostrand extension was to have emerged onto a similar structure also around Ave M and at Ave S would have merged with the IND structure and both would have continued as a 4 track structure to Emmons. How the 2 lines would have coexisted on that structure isn't clear but in order to avoid a massive flying junction at Ave S and Nostrand the IND would probably have had the 2 easternmost tracks exclusively and the IRT would have had exclusive use of the 2 westernmost tracks all the way to the end. |
