Posted by TUNNELRAT on Fri Feb 23 12:15:47 2018, in response to Re: Tracks at Hoyt-Schermerhorn, posted by Express Rider on Wed Feb 21 20:41:04 2018. LET ME CLEAR THIS UP.I POSTED MANY YEARS AGO THAT WHEN I WAS A NEW ERA MEMBER I READ AN OLD ERA BULLETIN THAT THE SECOND AVE CONNECTION WAS PARTIALLY BUILT IN QUEENS.AT EITHER 37TH OR 38TH AVE.IN ASTORIA A PARTIAL TUNNEL WAS CONSTRUCTED TO ROOSEVELT ISLAND AND NEVER COMPLETED BEYOUND THAT.THIS WAS THE EARLY `70`S WHEN I WAS A COP.I WENT TO ASTORIA AND WENT EXPLORIN`WHILE WALKING AROUND THIS AREA AN OLD TIME RESIDENT ASKED ME WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR,I TOLD HIM.HE RESPONDED THAT AS A KID HE REMEMBERED THE TUNNEL BEING BUILT. NOW WE FLASH FOWARD TO WHEN I WENT TO THE RANGE IN THE BASEMENT OF THE 6-9 PCT TO DO SOME TARGET PRACTICE.WHILE TALKIG TO ANOTHER COP ABOUT MY HOBBY OF TUNNEL EXPLORING THE RANGE OFFICER SAID THAT HE KNEW ABOUT SAID TUNNEL.HE SAID THAT THE NYPD USED THE ROOSEVELT ISLAND PORTION TO STORE AMMO.I HAVE EXPLORED THE ISLAND MANY TIMES AND SPOKE TO THE FIREMEN STATIONED THERE.NO ONE HAD HEARD OF THIS AMMO DUMP,SAME THING WHEN I SPOKE TO VARIOUS NYPD RANGE OFFICERS.METHINKS THE R/O IN THE 69 PCT.WAS A-PULLIN`MY LEG. I REMEMBER LAST YEARS POST ON THE EXT.ON STEINWAY ST.IIRC THE POSTER SAID IT WAS PAST THE STATION MANH.BOUND. |
