Posted by randyo on Thu Feb 7 15:56:37 2019, in response to Re: Park Avenue (Brooklyn), posted by Elkeeper on Wed Feb 6 18:06:47 2019. As I have mentioned over and over and over and over again, the connection to the Fulton St el was to have been done in any case even without unification. A contract book I saw at the ERA Sprague Library of the connection to the Fulton St el originally specified that past the 80/Hudson St interlocking, existing BMT signaling was to be used. The connection to the Rockaway Line was to have been from an extended Pitkin Av subway in the vicinity of Aqueduct. This was still the plan as of 1948 and the photo of Euclid tower showing both 76 St and Grant Av station bears this out. By the 1950 B of T report, plans for extension of the Pitkin Av subway past Euclid (or 76 St for those who believe) had been shelved and the plans now included the connection S/O Rockaway Blvd now known as Liberty Jct. From available information, the subway infrastructure S/O Rockaway Av including Pitkin Yd had been built by the time WWII started but with the war stopping all construction, a completed infrastructure minus station finishes, track and signals lay unused util after the war when construction resumed. |
