Posted by randyo on Thu Jun 4 01:35:40 2020, in response to Re: BMT Canarsie Line history question., posted by Edwards! on Wed Jun 3 22:12:41 2020. I can’t see Hylan having any plans for any service modifications to the 14 St Line since he wanted the BMT out of business so he certainly wouldn’t want to make things any easier for the company. I made reference in another post in this thread to a Bushwick Av line continuing east away from the Stuyvesant/Utica subway. That would probably have provided the service along the Jamaica line must likely continuing under Jamaica Av where it could be connected to the reclaimed Jamaica el at Cypress Hills. That allowed the Fulton st Subway plans to be changed to provide the connection to the outer portion of the BMT’s Fulton St El on Liberty Ave.I’ve seen 2 proposals for the connection to the Fulton El. The oldest one shows the subway continuing under Fulton St and turning south to make the connection from north of Liberty Ave. Another one shows the subway almost as it does now, but turning east at Liberty Av instead of Pitkin and making a straight connection to the reclaimed Fulton St el although exactly where this would be done was never made clear since the short section of the Fulton St el on Liberty Av between Crescent St and Grant was original structure and unable to support steel cars. |
