Unfortunately, even if the Fulton St el had been rebuilt to hold steel cars for its entire length, it’s likely that the Sands St complex would have eventually been torn down anyhow. Under the dual contract proposals, the Fulton St El was to have been routed into the subway S/O Dekalb via the Ashland Pl connection and Myrtle/Lex would have been shortlined at a new stub terminal to be built at the intersection of Flatbush Av Extension and Myrtle where a direct passenger transfer was to be built to the Myrtle Av (Gold St) station of the BMT subway. The eventual aim was to remove el trains from the Bkln Br and along with that the equally magnificent Park Row terminal would have been demolished as well. |
