That peninsula structure reminded me more of the Flushing Line viaduct along Queens Blvd. I wonder why they built it like that as opposed to the standard open steel box gurder that other El designs used?That had to be much more expensive and labor intensive (rebar in concrete that needed old fashioned & well paid wire lathers) to build it that way. Since the LIRR was financially on the ropes for decades, why go down this expensive road? I guess mother PRR had to reach deep into their Amish wagons to come up with the cash. And maybe the City chipped in with few bucks. That would make some sense since the City knew someday they'd be taking it over. Just speculation here. |
