The original interlocking machine was made by Federal Switch and Signal like the original machines at Essex and Chambers Sts. The first of the Federals to go was Essex St which was replaced by a GRS. None of the BMT Tw/M I spoke to recall the Federal but only the GRS. The next to go was 168 St which according to the Tw/M I spoke to there was originally at Gold St tower which was closed circa 1960 when the Dekalb/Gold St interlocking complex was realigned. The Federal machine at Chambers St lasted until the entire interlocking was replaced by the one controlled from the new Essex St master tower. |
