There were definitely some modernizations on the Bronx portion of the El. While I wasn't around back then, pictures from 1956 or so show semaphore signals on the Gun Hill Road portion (between 210th and Gun Hill Rd), while later pictures show IRT-style homeballs.So I'm sure other modifications could have been made as well. Maybe between 5/12/55 and 12/16/56, the third rail was changed to the subway type- and as you said, since the El cars could handle both types, there was no problem during the changeover period? That would be my guess. |
