Posted by Elkeeper on Tue May 3 15:27:52 2016, in response to Re: VIDEO: SPECIAL - Scenes from the Abandoned Upper Level of Myrtle Avenue Station, posted by JOE @ NYCMTS - NYCTMG on Mon May 2 21:09:11 2016. As I wrote before, on 06/10/40, five 3-car sets of Composites were sent down the South Ferry Spur and up the 9th Ave El to Jerome Ave. At the time, the City had no idea of what the shuttle ridership would be. The cars would become the original service for the Burnside Ave- Polo Grounds Shuttle. The South Ferry spur was then inspected for any problems due to the Composites' weight. No problems were found. The 9th Ave el was not inspected because it was to be shut down at 12:01AM, the next day- 06/11/40. The 3-car Composites ran for about a year, until shuttle ridership declined to the point where only 2-car trains were needed. Service was also cut back to 167th St, at the same time. |
