The tunnel between Ralf and Rockaway has special construction.The tunnel is actually floating. The water table is very high here,so the line was built in a sort of Bathtub feature to keep it dry. The Utica avenue line from Fulton st to Empire Blvd would have been built this way due the very same situation. Which brings me to the point why was All Utica avenue subway construction stopped cold after the street was torn up along that street during the early 30s. They Only managed to start on two blocks before the project was halted. If you are wondering where this information came from..it was told to me by my father and his friend who happened to witness the work. |
