Re: Tuscarora Almanac for March 34 and a Tuscarora Disdpatch

Down Jackson Ave, and mostly follow the route of the G train. It was to be built as an el but even then people objected to yet another el through Brooklyn. I had researched all of this a few years ago when I first took pics of the trackways leading toward Jackson, but "research" is just searching the internet. A lot of what I found were planning documents with a mention of wanting to build it, but only found a single mention of it in the early dual contracts. It was omitted in the later docs that were actually signed. My guess is that at the time of building the drawings still had the connection provision included and that's what was built. And of course it got built as part of the IND as a subway, not an el. The problem as it still exists is that the G train could not ever go to Manhattan from either end.
