Posted by MainR3664 on Fri Apr 20 07:00:05 2018, in response to 1947 SAS Proposal, posted by X-Astorian on Thu Apr 19 17:10:47 2018. Thank you. Fascinating indeed. All of them were great ideas. Some of this really did happen, like the 6th Avenue Express tracks, the De Kalb modernization, connection of the IND to the Fulton Street Line, and of course, the demolitions. What I find particularly interesting:1) It was obvious that the Third Ave Line in Manhattan couldn't be demolished until it was replaced. It was common sense. 8 years later, they there common sense out the window. 2) Again, it was quite obvious that the Bronx portion of the TAE needed to stay. The escalators at 149th were apparently added as part of this plan. 25 years later, f*** that, the TAE goes!! (that fact that it was needed isn't relevant) In fact, in the 1970s, they even put out a promotional video boasting of the elimination. 3) This report suggests that the Jamaica-Canarsie connection, used by the JJ around the time of Chrystie, was not original BRT or Dual Contract construction. I assumed it was. OR...did they just start using it for revenue service in the post WW2 era? |
