Your surprise is justified, because it can't be so.Long ago I saw a schematic. The LIRR 63rd Street tracks curve southward well east of Park Ave in a gentle curve underneath the foundations of a whole bunch of buildings that brings them under Park Ave. a few blocks south of 63rd. They are well under the MNRR tracks - they are also UNDER the 53rd street tracks, which are already pretty deep, as well as under the 63rd street subway tracks, which are even deeper. Then at GCT they are far deeper than the MNRR Lower Level. There is no reason to believe that between 60th street and 45th the LIRR tracks have risen closer to the surface. |
