This was not all Hylan's fault. The first paragraph of page 5 should have included the fact that, in 1926, the newly formed BMT did not want to spend $40 million to purchase 200 new steel subway cars. They would have been needed for this Fulton subway/elevated project. In addition, the BMT would also have to rebuild and equip the old elevated above Fulton St. I was unaware of the never-used steelwork from the American Bridge Co. Perhaps, the bill for that bill from American Steel was a factor for the BMT backing out of the deal. |
