Posted by Express Rider on Tue Jul 11 13:42:08 2017, in response to Re: 2 photos of the Park St (Ave) el in Brooklyn, posted by JOE @ NYCMTS - NYCTMG on Sun Jul 9 04:27:22 2017. Joe,Thank you so much for your detailed map & overlays. We (transit community and NY city history archiving) need more material like this. We can view the original photos of this complex, but for those of us around then, or not knowing anyone with first hand knowledge of this complex, pictorial aids/layouts like this are invaluable. Anyway, a similar thread about this building's relation to the Sands st. complex appeared on subchat sometime within the last year or so. I posted wondering if it was a street level fare control area, which obviously, from examining your photos/overlay it could not have been. My question is, I'd always thought that the Sands St. fare control area was an intermediate level between the platforms and the street - you walked up a staircase from the street, change booths & choppers/turnstiles at this first level, and then walked up another staircase to the platforms However, looking at Sands st. station photos, there doesn't appear to be a second, intermediate level between the street and platform level - that's why I thought this building might have been a street level entry point to the station. Can you explain the Sands St. fare control location arrangements further? Thank you very much in advance! |
