Posted by K. Trout on Mon Feb 15 18:16:30 2016, in response to Re: South 4 Streer, posted by Elkeeper on Mon Feb 15 13:31:55 2016. Joe Korman has blueprints on his website dated 10/27/31 showing the configuration I referred to. The specific diagram is "Plan 1 - Manhattan Connections".It's a bit faded, so the gist of it is: local tracks from 2 Av turn east and run under 1 St to where it intersects with Houston (between Aves A and B). Express tracks from 6 Av continue east along Houston. They meet for a 4-track station at Pitt St (2 Av on the outside). Then the 2 Av tracks turn southeast then under Stanton St for the river tunnel. The Stanton St tunnel appears to be labeled "future". I refer to this configuration as "bizarre" because, on those same plans, the Houston and Stanton tunnels would have met again when reaching Brooklyn (Havemeyer St?), except the Houston tunnel would be the outside tracks instead of inside. Korman also has a cleaned-up diagram (PDF) showing an alternative configuration of the Stanton St tunnels. This PDF does not correspond to any of the diagrams on the first page. |
