IINM there used to be crossover switches for s/b trains along Houston St. between W. 4th and Broadway-Lafayette.


The lack of such a south-bound crossover between W4 and Bway-Lafayette is the reason that 8 Av trains cannot access the Manhattan Bridge at all. There are no gaps in the pillars between the local and express tracks along that stretch to indicate that there ever was such a crossover there.

There is such a crossover in the north-bound direction, just west of Bway-Lafayette, so Manhattan Bridge trains can access 8 Av via the local track into W4.
