Posted by Elkeeper on Sat Sep 5 16:15:22 2020, in response to Re: Essex- Before the IND, posted by Marc A. Rivlin on Sat Sep 5 15:50:00 2020. i also read a few proposals but, the 8th Ave subway was never intentionally built to block the IRT from expanding westwards under 41st St. That extension was never even mentioned in the 1913 Dual Contracts. There wasn't even a free transfer between the 9th Ave el and the IRT subway at 66th St-B'way. The lower level of the IND's 42St/8Ave station was built to transfer downtown "E" train riders from Queens to the uptown "A", "AA" and "CC" trains. It probably looked good on paper, like the center platform of 59th St-Columbus Circle's center island platform. |
