I believe that DID happen- but the El was already scheduled to close. They shored up the damaged portion of the structure to keep it going a few more days.The fire at Nostrand happened after the closure. The 3rd Ave El had a fire at Claremont Parkway near the end... I think it had the effect of advancing the planned closure from August to April, 1973. Both closures were, IMO, highly unfortunate. |
