Posted by murray1575 on Wed Sep 9 07:10:26 2020, in response to Re: If the Broadway Line had been built north of 57th-7th, posted by northshore on Mon Sep 7 17:53:53 2020. The Flushing and Astoria elevated lines were also designed to accommodate 10' wide BMT cars although they both operated BMT elevated and IRT elevated and subway cars which were all narrower until 1949 when the Astoria line was rebuilt to allow BMT subway trains to run through what were the Second Avenue Elevated platforms on the IRT side of Queensboro Plaza and go to Astoria. The Flushing line cannot ever run wider cars into Manhattan since the limiting factor is the Steinway Tunnels which were originally designed for trolley cars and are too narrow. |
