Re: 75th Avenue (Re: What Are the Now-Abandoned Stations You Once Used Regularly?)

Posted by Dupont Circle Station on Sun Mar 28 15:23:21 2021, in response to 75th Avenue (Re: What Are the Now-Abandoned Stations You Once Used Regularly?), posted by Mitch45 on Thu Mar 11 14:29:54 2021.

I lived on 113th & 76th Rd in the late 1980s. The location of 75th Avenue's entrances made it easier on weekday mornings to walk an extra block to 78th Ave and catch the F from Union Tpk. At 75th in the AMs the E usually held for an F to pass. In the PM if I was on the F I just walked back.

There were mostly single family houses and only a few apartment buildings between QB and GCP until the 1960s. The retail and businesses still are low density, local-serving. Density on the other side of QB is only slightly higher. To this day these limit the potential ridership for the station.
