Original IND/Sixth Avenue Subway questions |
|
|
Posted by Union Tpke on Fri Jan 30 15:48:14 2015 The Queens Boulevard line and the Eighth avenue line were built before the sixth avenue line. I have a few questions regarding this.1. At 7th Avenue, which had already opened there is a track for sixth avenue service. Was there just an empty track bed there at the time? Also, would there be bellmouths on either side of this area for future sixth avenue service? 2. Past 5th Avenue, there is the turnoff for sixth avenue service. Was there a bellmouth here? It appears there would be, just by looking at where the two routes diverge from each other. 3. At West Fourth Street, were there bellmouths for sixth avenue service? There must have been. With the sixth avenue line construction, how did affect Eighth Avenue service? Were there closures, or did they work while trains passed by with restricted speed. One more question. 23 St-Ely (Find Court Square-23 St) was an in-fill station. Why did they decide to put it in later? Why was it decided the station was needed? If the station wasn't put in, how would affect the G train's being cutback to Court Square?, would this mean a free transfer between the G and 7 earlier, and a transfer at Queens/Queensboro Plaza? Were there provisions for the in-fill station in the tunnel? Maybe a station shell? |
