Posted by Wallyhorse on Sat Mar 28 01:08:14 2015, in response to Re: Myrtle Avenue El, posted by Elkeeper on Fri Mar 27 21:23:11 2015. That is true about that:The line likely would have had to have been rebuilt in the '70s or '80s to most likely the way I would do a rebuild in 2015: Stations with 600' platforms, done for the wider and heavier BMT/IND cars that were in use by then, including spots if necessary where the line ran with two levels of single tracks and some two-platform stations as a result (To Downtown Brooklyn on the upper level, from Downtown Brooklyn on the lower level). As also previously noted, there likely would have been a considerable consolidation of stations past Myrtle Avenue as part of this rebuild, with in a rebuilt line about half as many stations as there were before the line either went to what would now be Jay Street-Metrotech (and today directly connected to the (A/C/F/R station) OR go into a new tunnel that would likely connect to the Montauge Street Line, either at the current Jay Street-Metrotech Station OR at Court Street before likely continuing via the Broadway line to Astoria as what would likely have been a (W) train. This possibly would also also included a rush-hour loop line ("Brown W?") that would have run in both directions from Metropolitan via the Myrtle Line to Montague and then via the Nassau Line before going over the Willy B and Broadway-Brooklyn line back to Metropolitan. |
