Posted by Elkeeper on Tue May 21 15:55:01 2019, in response to Re: Third Avenue EL, posted by Wallyhorse on Tue May 21 11:59:25 2019. False! There was no real surge in 3rd Ave el ridership when the 2nd Ave el service, north of the Queensboro Bridge, ended on June 11th, 1940. Overall ridership was just not there in the late 1930's. Most of your 2nd Ave rush hour trains to 129th St or the Bronx, were only 5 cars, including the Bergen Ave Cutoff expresses. I mentioned about the 1940-42 post-World's Fair decline in a recent posting here. |
