The only BMT subway tunnels that could clear the gate cars were on the Centre St subway (as it was called), between Essex/Delancey and Chambers St. After reversing south of Chambers, they could clear the 4th Ave subway, between The Manhattan Bridge and the Sea Beach open cut. Because of a steel car shortage, the BRT/BMT ran gate cars on some rush hour Broadway-Brooklyn and even Myrtle Ave Expresses, until August 8th, 1927. The gate cars could not clear BMT Broadway subway tunnels. My guess is that the wooden BMT cars came via the LIRR, but I'm not 100% sure of this. Maybe Randy or Joe can enlighten us. |
