Posted by Express Rider on Sat Feb 9 00:14:36 2019, in response to Re: Park Avenue (Brooklyn), posted by randyo on Fri Feb 8 19:35:16 2019. One of the JoeKorner's features that I came across a few months back at the website, were track diagrams redrawn, clear and detailed, for the second system, done by a friend/colleague of his. These were based on the linen quality paper plans that Joe had scanned and made images of for the site (these are still accessible).The drawings covered Brooklyn and some of Queens. IIRC a couple of different versions for tracks east of S.4th st., local tracks going up to Glendale (via Bedford Nostrand on the diagram??), I think, and the Utica ave. subway, again a couple of different versions for this route to connect to the trunk line east of S4. I never copied and and saved them, so what I remember isn't exact. I also seem to recall track layouts for a Bedford Ave Subway (?) as well as the Borden ave. route. I remember 2nd, 6th, and 8th ave routes converging on S4. 8th via Worth St. conn., 6th (and 2nd - don't remember the latter clearly) via Houston & 2nd ave. And they split up east of S4 - the exact details, I don't remember the plans clearly, unfortunately. These re-drawn plans are not at the site anymore (unless someone has come across them) that I could find - maybe they were taken down for some reason? **I also found an archived version of this site at webarchives, which has material in the Subway Information section, that is not at the current site. I thank those who are keeping his site on-line, and again, never met Joe K. but I respect and am grateful to him, for putting together his site, with its wealth of information, for all interested in transit & its history, it's his legacy, and he will remain in peoples' memory. |
