Sands St. building is definately larger east to west, and interior track arrangments are much rmore complex. Six rapid transit tracks (+ six platforms) on two levels, 4 main level, 2 on the upper loop, plus two trolley tracks (for a number of route services).Per Randy O, - serviced 5 rapid transit lines (not including Sea Beach & West End lines; el cars running at grade & feeding into the 5th ave. line.) plus at least 4 trolley lines It is also larger including the Kings County el station (with 3 or 4? through tracks to merge further east with Fulton line, plus one terminal pocket track), which is part of/ adjacent to Sands st. East of Sands St. was the wide ROW with at least 4 tracks (more maybe?) plus the Bridge yard, and branches/ grade crossings on the ROW for Myrtle etc. and Fulton lines. Sands st. was definately busier with much more rapid transit traffic. Sullivan Sq. may have taken up more physical space, but that's only if the yards and layup tracks & turning loops are included (and that might not even "hold a candle to" the yards/ shops at 155th St.). Inside that spacious building, transit/ trolleys were all on one level. There was only one 2 track rapid transit line, with a number of paralell tracks for trolley "berths" on either side of it. The large exterior loop for el trains included what looks like yard leads. Trolleys entered and left via two ramps (it looks like), one to the north, the secon to the east. I'd take Sands St. complex any time :) busier and much more exciting for operational action. |
