Posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Sat Feb 1 18:38:37 2020, in response to Re: Guess the Location??...Not so easy!:), posted by randyo on Sat Feb 1 17:51:01 2020. "There were always physical switches between the IRT and BMT at Qnsbro Plz"...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."But NOT to the 60th St Tunnel. All Astoria & Flushing trains(prior to 1949) came from Times Sq. I was thinking of switches connecting trackage from the 60th st tunnel to either the Astoria or Flushing lines prior to 1942 when the 2nd Ave El connection was severed. IIRC those trains when ending their runs at QBP went on to be turned on a tail track adjacent to the Flushing Line along Queens Blvd to right before the Rawson St Sta. That tail track had no physical connection to the Flushing line. Structural eveidence of this maneuver is still there today. |
