Not only did the TA intend to use this section for SAS service, but sometime in the 1970s, changes were made in the proposed Bx service patterns for the SAS. As originally planned, the SAS was to take over potions of the IRT Pelham Line as well as the Dyre Line. In the 1970s, it was decided to leave the Pelham Line with the IRT and instead connect the SAS to the Wh Pl Rd Line N/O E180 St since like the Pelham Line the upper portion of the Wh Pl Rd Line was built to dual contract standards and would have only required shaving back the station platforms. I suspect that the change in plans was partially due to the elimination of the 3 Av El allowing for the Wh Pl Rd line to be turned over to the B (IND) Division. Needless to say the fiscal crisis of the mid 1970s put an end probably forever to any hope of SAS service reaching the Bronx. |
