Posted by BrooklynBus on Sun Feb 3 10:25:45 2019, in response to Re: Park Avenue (Brooklyn), posted by Express Rider on Sat Feb 2 22:40:33 2019. On my first day at City Planning on December 31, 1973, they asked us to empty out an old closet and throw out whatever we find. Instead we took the treasures home with us. A bunch of old subway and trolley maps. There was separate IRT, BMT, and IND maps. An areal BMT trolley, bus and elevated map, and plans for every subway station on the Utica Avenue line. I got the last two, but sadly the subway plans were lost or destroyed after Hurricane Sandy. There are many other old maps I also can no longer locate. The trolley map hangs in my bedroom. Bus routes were added in 1936. And someone “demolished” the Second Avenue El, but my boss had an artist rebuild it so it matches the others now. If it were only so easy to do in real life. |
