All other platforms along the line were also extended where necessary but only at Newkirk did the need to cut into the retaining wall at the north end. Church was already long enough it appears since it has original stairs at both ends and are unchanged. I think Sheepshead Bay needed an extension but they had the room. I don't know about the other express stations. Parkside, Beverly and Cortelyou had cuts made into the wall. I don't remember them working on any of these except Newkirk, but then again I was only 9 in 1964.Maybe they did this midday and had both trains express in one direction and local the other way, pretty much what they do now when the Q runs express. The B will run local the other way, except that the B isn't running at all these days. |
