Posted by W.B. on Tue May 21 06:13:16 2019, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for May 21, posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Tue May 21 04:42:05 2019. According to old blueprints from the old BRT, the distance between the track center and the edge of the rubbing board on "old style" platforms was 4' 7¼", whereas for 10' wide trains the distance was 5' 2". Thus the amount the platforms would have been shaved was 6¾".(By contrast, IRT platforms' stated distance between rubbing board and track center was 4' 7¾", but MTA specs for IRT for years had it as 4' 8¼".) |
