Posted by K. Trout on Tue Apr 26 01:23:15 2016, in response to Re: Bellmouths and tunnel expansions, posted by Elkeeper on Mon Apr 25 17:52:18 2016. Going by the blueprints on Joe Korman's site, it could have gone either way...one shows a 4-track, 3-platform express stop, with the downtown and Brooklyn branches diverging south of Grand St; others show the Brooklyn branch diverging north of Houston and a 2-track station at Houston.Note that both plans involve two side platforms, which possibly explains the confusion in what's been observed as built. It's quite clever - with the former, they could use the platforms as built and add the center platform later; with the latter, the side platforms can be extended inwards to fill the available space. |
