Posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Sat Dec 3 21:27:31 2016, in response to Re: Franklin Shuttle, posted by Joe V on Sat Dec 3 20:30:49 2016. If you get a chance, in GCT lower level , tks 100-104 loop tracks were constructed only to fit 60 ft cars. That was the norm for NYCRR & NH commuter cars of the 1910-20s . One day back in the late 90s,, someone tried to yard move an empty set of 85ft M-2s around the loop of track 102 going south from the east end. The train derailed & amidship of one of the cars mounted the tail end of the platform due to the tight curve. This resulted in a few long unpaid vacations.With post 9/11 security in place, it might be a problem to get down there nowadays.If you can, the scrape marks on the platform & the tunnel sidewall are still visible. |
