Actually, the 14 St station on the Lex was not itself extended.------------ I thought that the station platforms at the 14th Street-Union Square station WERE extended. I remember reading somewhere that the platforms were extended in such a way as to remove or modify some of the track switch setup that was at station, as well as to shift the placement of some way-side equipment. I will agree that the "station" was NOT extended for the purpose of establishing extra street entrances and exits. However the 18th Street platform seems to be very closing to the switches between the downtown local and express platforms. And yes, the entrance at 16th Street at the side of Union Square Park would be very close of the old 18th Street station entrance - so it is understandable why that station would be closed - even if it required a subway-rider to have to walk through the entire station complex to reach the #4, #5 or #6 trains. In any case, I definitely appreciate all of the old photos. Mike |
