Are you forgetting that the Giants left the Polo Grounds in 1957 and the NY Central Putnam Division closed in 1958? The former was because the neighborhood around the Polo Grounds had declined and the latter was a decline in Putnam ridership. You already had the IND stop at 155St/8Av, plus the transfer at 149th/Mott (Concourse) to catch a 7th Ave IRT train. Also, the transfer between the D/CC and the #4 at 161St/River Ave. A Lenox Ave extension up 8th Ave to the Putnam Drawbridge would have been overkill, in my book. |
