I would have thought that when the Broadway/Myrtle junction was completely rebuilt in the late 1910's that the upper level would have been able to support regular subway cars.There was no Broadway/Myrtle Junction before the rebuild. The two lines crossed at different levels. There was no need to strengthen the Myrtle support beams because it was on top. Only the supports for the Broadway El needed to be strengthened. |
