Posted by BMT Standard on Sun Feb 28 13:01:49 2021, in response to [PHOTO] Mystery Photo - AB # 2644, posted by Bill Newkirk on Fri Feb 26 18:12:00 2021. My best guess is that the car in the photo is on a curved platform, perhaps at DeKalb Ave. As I remember (going back more than 60 years), the curve at the south end of the DeKalb Ave platform was somewhat superelevated, so that the cars stopping on the curve were not level, which would explain the step up into the car. The angle of the photo may be exaggerating the size of the step up as the camera angle is from above looking somewhat down into the gap.Not sure if the tile patterns on the wall match the south end of DeKalb. They may have been somewhat different from other parts of the station as the south end, on the curve, was an extension added in the 1920s. |
