Posted by Randyo on Thu Dec 19 16:53:26 2013, in response to Re: Tuscarora Almanac - December 15, 1956 - The Book of First and Last Runs, posted by Avid Reader on Thu Dec 19 12:00:24 2013. I would imagine that the platforms on Fulton could berth 8 steels like the rest of the eastern with the exception of Metropolitan which could only hold 7 steels for some reason. On the other hand, as originally built, many of the dual contract platforms could only hold 6 steels and were extended over the years to hold 8. I don't have any figures as to whether any of the stations on the rebuilt portions of Fulton including the extension to Lefferts were extended for 8 steels since the rest of the Fulton el was not rebuilt to hold steel cars and extending the platforms would have been an unnecessary expense. |
