Posted by randyo on Fri Apr 17 13:20:28 2015, in response to Re: Quest for Kevin or other Motormen Re: Flying the Subway Express (Feb, 1938), posted by SelkirkTMO on Thu Apr 16 19:31:50 2015. Correct. As I understand it, the city purchased the entire NYW&B ROW from Harlem River all the way to the Bx city line. One of the reasons it was initially part of the IND was that it was purchased prior to unification and the IND was the only city operated subway at the time. Some of the original IND second system plans called for a new subway line not to far from the NYW&B ROW in the Bx to be connected to the SAS but after the city purchased the ROW, plans were altered to connect the SAS to the newly acquired Dyre Line instead. Those plans remained in place even through the fiscal crisis of the 1970s but since parts the former ROW infrastructure S/O E180 have been removed that is extremely unlikely to happen even if the SAS were eventually to reach the Bronx. |
