Posted by VictorM on Wed Oct 22 17:25:30 2014, in response to Re: Tuscarora Almanac - October 16, 1949 - The Book of First Runs, posted by randyo on Tue Oct 21 18:28:39 2014. Here's a corrected list I found on NYC Transit Forums:tracks J1 and J2 on the willy b from station 73+45 to station 77+35 (390 ft) is at 5.5% thats the steepest track H2 on the manny b from station 287+35 to station 278+07 (928 ft) is at 5.4% grade. steinway tubes from station 88+94 to station 101+99 (1305 ft) is at 4.5% grade 60th street tubes from station 102+12 to station 109=97 (787 ft) is at 4.37% grade NYC TRANSIT TRACK LOCATIONS WITH GRADES LARGER THAN 4.0%: • Manhattan Bridge (Brooklyn and Manhattan approaches), Manhattan Bridge and Brighton/6th Avenue Lines • Williamsburg Bridge: Manhattan approach, Jamaica Line • Steinway Tunnel, Flushing Line • 5th Avenue to Grand Central, Flushing Line • S/O 36th St. to the 5th Ave. Cut Portal, West End Line (Open cut portion of West End Line) • 38th St. Yard Viaduct Ramps West End Line (Open cut portion of West End Line) • 60th St. Tunnel, Astoria and 11th St. Cut Lines (connection to Queens Blvd. Lines) • South of Queensboro Plaza Upper Level to Astoria Line • South of Broad St. Jamaica /Nassau Cut Line (to the Montague Street BMT Tunnel to Downtown Brooklyn) • East N.Y. Yard Lead Jamaica Line • North of Eastern Parkway/Broadway Junction Jamaica Line • South of Chambers St. to North of Broadway-Nassau/Fulton St., 8th Avenue Line • Grant Ave. to 80-Hudson St. Liberty Ave. Line • North of South Ferry Loop, 7th Avenue Line (Westside IRT 1 train) It appears the Willy B has the steepest grades, but only over a distance of 390 feet. The Manny B's grade is slightly less, but over a much greater distance so that may be why BX cars were banned from the MB but not the WB. |
