Once unification was achieved, the interest would have been to coordinate with rather than compete with the former private companies. The Fulton St subway was swung slightly north off Fulton St and under Truxton Pk to facilitate the transfer between the Fulton St Line and the rest of the BMT Eastern which the BMT Fulton St el did not have. It seems that the trackways, platform and station finish as well as the subway infrastructure to Euclid (76 St?) were completed before the US involvement in WWII. Our participation in the war prevented any further work from being done until 1946 when ENY was finished and opened. I've seen some contract drawings for the Fulton St Line S/O ENY and had those stations been completed prior to the war, they would have been identical in design to the older IND stations. Since the station finishes S/O ENY unlike ENY itself were done after the war they utilized a different style of tile although still in keeping with the IND station color system. I often wondered why Grant was done the way it was since If it properly followed the IND color system it should have been the same as Euclid. |
