Posted by randyo on Thu Jul 30 23:55:32 2020, in response to Re: Tuscarora Almanac for July 29, posted by gbs on Thu Jul 30 23:33:35 2020. From what I have seen of the photos, all the BMT Eastern stations on the dual contract portions of the lines were built as concrete originally with the exceptions of Met, Jamaica and Lefferts. Met was the original wooden platform and Jamaica and Lefferts were “temporary” wooden island platforms as it was intended to extend both the Fulton and Jamaica lines farther east (railroad south). That being the case, I can only assume that the platforms were able to clear 10 ft wide cars as built and passengers on the el cars just had to mind the gap. Why the Southern Div platforms were wood and the Eastern platforms were concrete I don’t know. |
