BMT Crosstown line again

Posted by zac on Mon Nov 15 10:32:34 2021

I finally found a mention of the BMT Crosstown line in a transcript of an official document.

"To Be Constructed By Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company At Its Own Expense.

Crosstown Line-Greenpoint. Elevated. Two tracks. 11.0"


This is in section III of this from NYCSubway.org:

Dual Contracts 1912

I've seen these scanned docs in some archive but can't seem to find the scans anymore.

This reference would pre-date Queensboro Plaza and would explain why a provision would be made to build it even if it went no further than it did. It was in the contract! By the time QBP was built the BRT was bankrupt and wasn't building anything by itself, and the city wasn't keeping their end of the bargain up with its own commitments.
