Posted by randyo on Mon Jan 14 01:34:05 2019, in response to Pop-Pop? Why …, posted by JAFO on Sun Jan 13 22:09:21 2019. Back when BMT subway and el trains shared the same lines like the Myrtle el with the Myrtle/Chambers subway trains and Culver and West End el shuttles sharing trackage and platforms with subway trains, that was done quite often. Of course it was el cars running on lines with subway clearances so the C/Rs on the el cars which were gated were there ot insure passengers didn’t fall through the gaps. On those lines where there was less passenger traffic than in mid Manhattan, it wasn’t that difficult, but in Manhattan with its heavy ridership, it would be hazardous to have large numbers of passengers attempting to jump the gap to board an IRT train berthed at a BMT/IND platform. |
