What I really "dream" about, and would love seeing, are the overpasses that led from teh street to the el at 3rd ave. One could transfer tween subway & el via internal connections too. I remember standing in an area that resembled a "cattle chute" with large wooden horizontal planks. One could look over those "planks" and see the tracks, wheels and underbody of el trains just a few feet above.These were our playgrounds. To hell with street games; I loved standing here, inside and outside the fare paid area. In summer we stood high above traffic in 149th, watching all the action below. Those internal transfers at 149th / 3rd 'tween N/B and S/B have been decimated. Brilliant move, MTA. No matter people want to reverse directions. r17 |
