Posted by Express Rider on Thu Jun 4 00:13:54 2020, in response to Re: BMT Canarsie Line history question., posted by Edwards! on Wed Jun 3 22:12:41 2020. On David Rogoff's IND track map, he indicated there are turnout provisions in the IND Fulton St. line for a Jamaica subway. This probably would have replaced the outer portion of the Jamaica line beyond B'way E.NY? (with the inner Jamaica line being replaced by the Stuyvesant Utica subway of the 2nd system plans.)I don't have any more information about the Jamaica subway route. If info. on this line appeared in any of his NY Div. articles, I don't remember coming across any references to this route. If anyone can add info. on this route it would be great. One more thought - the 1929 second system plan shows the Stuyvesant trunk veering southeast and becoming the Utica Ave. subway. So, if the inner section of the Jamaica line were replaced it looks like there would have been a gap with no transit, between the point where the Stuyvesant subway turned SE and B'Way- ENY. To leave a gap like that (even in the BOT's initial planning of 2nd system routes) doesn't make sense - it would seem at some point, if second system plans had proceeded forward, that revisions could, or would have been made to continue the Stuyvesant trunk route east towards a future Jamaica subway route, while keeping its SE Utica Ave. line plans intact. |
