Posted by randyo on Fri Sep 25 15:49:28 2015, in response to The Liberty Avenue Elevated Is 100 Today!, posted by William A. Padron on Fri Sep 25 09:19:10 2015. If I recall, BMT service to Lefferts ended after the PM rush on Friday April 27, 1956 allowing the weekend for connecting the IND ramp to the Fulton El structure west of 80 St. Interestingly, although Lefferts Avenue had been upgraded to a boulevard some years earlier, The station name and BMT train destinations still carried the reading Lefferts AVENUE. Also the original IND signs at Euclid and Grant read “To Lefferts Avenue” but prior to opening the signs were changed and the word “Avenue” was covered over with the word “Boulevard” which was obvious to the casual observer since it was in a different font from the name “Lefferts." |
