There were always physical switches between the IRT and BMT at Qnsbro Plz since it was always the BMT’s intention to operate through service with steel trains as soon as the 2 companies could agree as to who would pay for the installation of either gap fillers or gantlet tk to allow for trains of both sizes to operate to both Astoria and Flushing. Of course no agreement was ever reached so until 1949 when the BMT and IRT got the Astoria and Flushing Lines respectively, BMT service continued to be supplied by el car shuttles. Don’t forget too, that since trains of both companies operated to both Astoria and Flushing, both lines had to have direct access to both parts of the Qnsbro Plz station complex. |
