Yes, obviously the final configuration of Fulton was not agreed upon when Rockaway became a terminal. Rockaway became a terminal due to circumstance. If not for WWII, it probably never would have been used as a terminal. Broadway Junction (Bway-East New York) made much more sense as a temporary terminal, it was even completed, but they couldn't use it because of the lack of metal available because of the war effort, so they didn't have metal for tracks and signaling, in addition the workforce was then in war mode. So they did what they could....and used Rockaway. This also allowed the removal of the Fulton El west of Rockaway. |
