Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Aug 27 01:26:07 2013, in response to Re: Essex- Before the IND, posted by Lou From Middletown NY on Sun Aug 25 21:09:30 2013. It does need to be remembered at the time the 8th Avenue line was built, Madison Square Garden ran from 49th-50th Streets and 8th-9th Avenues. That's why there was a 49th Street exit on the lower level (that was never reopened on the northbound side, but was on the southbound side when Worldwide Plaza opened), probably to allow those coming from/going to Queens to/from the old MSG to be able to enter separately from those looking for Manhattan.In retrospect, as MSG was at 50th/8th at that time, why wasn't that made into an express station? |
