Was that built with an adapter for IRT service? Given when that opened, I wonder if that was originally built for wide-car BMT service (5' 5-1/2" permanent concrete platform edge from track center), but a 5-3/4" converter was added on (to make it 4' 11-3/4") so that those entering and exiting IRT cars wouldn't have to watch their step?Something also tells me that had any new IRT trackage and stations been built and opened in the 1930's, they too would have borne IND station design as the three BMT stations that opened in 1931 (Fulton Street, Broad Street and Eighth Avenue) had. But interesting that compared with the IND/BMT network, the IRT basically atrophied after 1928. |
