"that places it UNDER the east side platform"I went back and looked at Dougherty's track map - indeed it is. I even overlooked that when referring to it while writing the post. What a mistake!!!!!!!!!! How embarrassing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The few times I took the #5 from 149th St./Mott, onto the Lex tracks*, I could have sworn the train descended on that curve to get to the East side tracks. Guess I assumed that he east side station was underneath 149th St./Mott because it was built later. How wrong I was. *have not ridden up there in years. "..,original 149/Mott station was built, ... not even a thought of another subway in that area yet." the thought about including a provision for another station popped into my head while reading your previous post about the Woodlawn line's original opening. Got me wondering, what if? But I pretty much came to the same conclusion after reading the info. about contract date being Nov. 1911. Thanks. |
