As originally designed, the Bkln portion of the IRT between Boro Hall and Atlantic was supposed to be a 2 tk line with a middle tk in Nevins St station. The 2 tks were what became the present exp tks and during construction, the 2 outside tks were added along with the ramp up to the outside tk from beneath the Boro Hall station which was intended for a connection to the Manhattan Bridge and eventually was used for the connection from the 7 Ave Line. Along with the amended construction were the lower level at Nevins St and a ramp up to the N/B lcl tk intended for a connection to the 4th Ave subway. At one point when the PSC decided to award the 4 Av subway to the BRT (BMT) the IRT withdrew from dual contract negotiations but later reentered. Af course as we know, the Nevins St lower level was never used and the ramp on the east (N/B) side of the subway infrastructure was covered over when the tracks between Nevins and Atlantic were realigned circa 1960. |
