How did they handle the different car dimensions when they implemented this service? Did they shave back the platforms from Central to Metropolitan right away? If so what did they do about the gap with the El cars? Or did they use El cars at first along Broadway, and if so, what about the gap at those stations? The platforms had to be cut back on those lines were the ten foot wide cars were operated. It was felt safe to continue to operate the nine foot wide el cars on those lines. This was due to the fact that a conductor (or guard) was stationed between each pair of cars to open the gates. He could then advise passengers to watch the gaps. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
