No. My grandfather, who worked for the LIRR and whom I inherit my railfan "genes" from used to tell my mother that the third track was planned for but not built because demand for the el was so heavy and they wanted to open it ASAP. Remember, when we entered into WWI in April of 1917, the demand for mass transit skyrocketed, with millions of women entering the workforce. I suppose the track was never installed because of financial problems the BRT had after the war, and the cost of installing the Fulton St. flyover was too great. |
