In 1908, 5 years before before the Dual contracts, the IRT offered to rebuild the 3rd Ave el for steel subway cars if it could use the north side tracks of the Manhattan Bridge. This was before plans for the Lexington Ave subway were drawn up. About the same time, the BRT asked to use the south side tracks to access the newly built (by the NYC Dept of Bridges) Chambers Street station. Both requests were refused, but the BRT wound up with both track sets of the MB, as part of the Dual Contracts of 1913. |
