Posted by W.B. on Wed Sep 24 11:02:26 2025, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for September 24, posted by irtredbirdr33 on Wed Sep 24 03:53:22 2025. The "new" H&M terminus was built simultaneous to the IND's Sixth Avenue line. As a result, H&M platform specs were adapted to suit what the Transit Commission, in the 1920's, specified for IRT and BMT platforms. In the H&M's case, "temporary" platform edge to track center was 4' 7-1/2", so the permanent edge was made for that station at 4' 11. (By contrast, the temporary and permanent edges on the IRT were specified at 4' 8-1/4" and 4' 11-3/4", and on the BMT - and later, IND - 5' 2" and 5' 5-1/2".) |
