Posted by Avid Reader on Mon Oct 7 09:00:36 2013, in response to The IND's 1st 13 Months (1932-1933) [A Timeline], posted by William A. Padron on Sun Oct 6 14:28:55 2013. 7/1/1933 - New extension via the Concourse line going into from 145th Street (lower level) to 205th Street-Bainbridge/Perry Avenues in the Bronx. "C" express and "CC" local trains provide the service there, with a fleet of 500 R-4 cars (#400-899) being placed in passemnger service for the new extended lines there were to be opened real soon.How many stations did this addition add to the system? 8/19/1933 - New extension to Queens via the 53rd Street Line going into from 50th Street-8th Avenue (lower level) to Roosevelt Avenue-Jackson Heights, with "E" trains making all the stops along this route. 23rd Street-Ely Avenue would open along that stretch as an added station on 8/28/1939. Also, the first section of a new Brooklyn-Queens Crosstown line with "GG" trains in service opens south of Queens Plaza towards its temporary terminal at Nassau Avenue in Brooklyn How many stations did this addition add to the system? 10/7/1933 - The final IND extension to open during the calendar year of 1933 was the Smith Street-Prospect Park line in Brooklyn from Bergen Street-Smith Street to Church Avenue-McDonald Avenue, with "A" trains using the route. Most notable along this route are two above ground, elevated stations at Smith-9th Street (located 87.5 feet above street level) and 4th Avenue-9th Street (with its impressive arch structure design). How many stations did this addition add to the system? Of course, we all realize, all of these lines were under construction at the same time, although, some started earlier then others. |
