I am STILL pretty sure that this was the last car of an 8-car train of Standards at Essex St. The station is the side platform & track for Chambers/Broad St bound trains. I remember seeing this incline when, as a kid, I used to explore the Centre St Subway, as it was called. The problem was gradually solved when post-War R-16 cars were put on the Eastern Division lines running across the Williamsburg Bridge. An 8-car trainset of R-16's was some 55 feet shorter than an 8-car set of Standards, so the last car did not open its doors as shown in the photo. |
