The Astoria Line has 2 stations that were originally “avenues” that were upgraded to “boulevards.” AStoria Blvd and Ditmars Blvd were both avenues when the line was first built and Junction Blvd on the Flushing Line was originally “Junction Avenue.” There is a photo I saw recently showing a train of Steinways at Astoria when IRT service still went there and the station sign read Ditmars Blvd although I recall from when I worked out of there that the small signs on the light columns bore the initials “D.A.” Another street that was upgraded was Hunt Pt Ave in the Bx. When I first remember riding the Pelham Line in the 1950s, the station signs read Hunts Point ROAD. |
