Posted by randyo on Tue Jul 7 17:57:53 2020, in response to Re: The J line isn't slow for a BMT line, posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Tue Jul 7 07:41:29 2020. It’s surprising that the Myrtle had the provision for an exp station at Wyckoff and yet there was not even a structural provision made for any exp stations on the Jamaica Line. The Fulton St el was in a similar situation. Although there were plans for the entire el structure from downtown Bkln all the way the Grant to be upgraded to dual contract specs I haven’t seen any indication of where any exp stops would be other than Franklin Av. As originally planned, the Fkln Av station was supposed to be made into a 3 tk island platform exp station with an “improved" connection to the Brighton Line (Fkln Shuttle). What I don’t understand is why there was no station on the Fulton St El at Bway Jct since there was room for a 3 tk island platform exp station even if it were slightly west of the junction itself. As it was Fulton St passengers who would need to go to Jamaica had to go to Atlantic Av and backride to Bway Jct to get Jamaica service. The only other possibility I can think of for another exp station on the Fulton St el would be Grant Av which would nave to have been rebuilt anyhow if the entire Fulton St el had been upgraded. After that there was no provision made for any sort of exp station between grant and Lefferts possibly indicating that Grant would have been a terminal for select rush hour locals. |
