Posted by Wallyhorse on Mon Feb 9 01:54:31 2015, in response to Re: Connecting Lenox Line to Polo Grounds Shuttle, posted by Elkeeper on Sat Feb 7 15:52:09 2015. The idea was when the 9th Avenue El was torn down, what was the (3) could have been connected to what was left of 9th Avenue El with that in turn connected to the Jerome Avenue El. From there, the (3) could have joined the (4) going to Woodlawn.That line would likely have long survived the Giants leaving and the Jets and Mets using the Polo Grounds for a few years before Shea opened. What I was talking about was if they had kept the Polo Grounds shuttle and connected it to the (3) instead of having the (3) station built at 148th Street that opened in 1968. When the time came for a new Yankee Stadium to be on the drawing board, what likely would have had to have happened first (and most likely around 2003-'04) would have been a new El section south of the old Yankee Stadium that along with moving the 161st Street stop north a bit (and possibly rebuilt into a two-island platform station that would have more easily allowed for game trains to terminate there) would have allowed a Woodlawn-bound (3) to join the (4) south of 161st Street. |
