Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Feb 10 07:37:31 2015, in response to Re: Connecting Lenox Line to Polo Grounds Shuttle, posted by Elkeeper on Mon Feb 9 16:42:53 2015. Connecting the (3) to the Polo Grounds Shuttle would have been long before 148th Street would have been opened, so I don't think that would have been ever done if this had been.The 145th Street station on the (3) would likely have been closed and a nearby above-ground station replacing it. As that has always been a short station anyway, I don't think that would have been as big of a deal. The tunnel in the Bronx that was part of the old Polo Groudnds shuttle likely would have been worked on to accommodate wider trains. The connection to 161st Street-Yankee Stadium would likely have come in an approximately 2003-'04 rebuild ahead of the new stadium being built that likely would also have included the 161st street stop on the Jerome El moved north (and possibly rebuilt to two island platforms to more easily terminate game trains there) so the (3) could connect just south of the rebuilt station. Prior to that, the (3) would have connected to the Jerome El north of 161st Street station. |
