Something to do with the original layout, which had 1 track under 59th and one under 60th st....I think. That is correct. The Queens bound track would have run under East 59th Street east of 5th Avenue. The Manhattan bound track would have run under East 60th Street. This would have facilitated access to the Queensborough Bridge. Once they decided to put the trains in the 60th Street Tunnel both tracks were routed under East 60 Street as far as 5th Avenue and then under West 59th Street west of that point. Some structural provisions for the original line can sit be found at 59th Street station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
