Posted by randyo on Sun Mar 10 20:12:47 2019, in response to Re: Platform Lengths - BMT Eastern Divisiion routes, posted by SLRT on Sun Mar 10 13:33:35 2019. DeKalb is another example of BMT platform extensions. The original S/E of Dekalb was about where the current S/E is now. Because the original switches were at the N/E the only place top extend the platforms was at the S/E partially on a curve. When the entire Dekalb complex was realigned in the late 1950s/early 1960s, switches were placed at the S/E of the station and the platforms extended north eventually so far that the Myrtle Av (Gold St) station was rendered redundant and eventually closed. The abandoned S/E platform extension can be seen from passing trains if you look carefully enough. |
