I can’t recall the exact page, but there is reference made to an area S/O Gr/Cent "where there are 5 tracks” which would seem to indicate they type of track layout that was there. I also recall a video made from a movie of the day that the IRT opened in 1904 which clearly does show the track arrangement S/O G/Cent with the spur. As for the N/E of the G/Cent shuttle station the switches from tk 1 to tk 3 which were altered after the 1965 fire, utilized the spur to get trains to.from tk 3 to tk 1 and back whenever the train on tk 3 had to be replaced. |
