Posted by randyo on Sat Oct 21 21:09:19 2006, in response to Re: Flatbush Avenue Brooklyn College extention, posted by MATHA531 on Fri Oct 20 09:40:47 2006. They needed to close Myrtle Av (or Gold St as we refer to it on the road) in order to allow for the realignment of the S/B tracks coming off the Manny B. This requires the realigning of A3 tk to the space occupied by the S/B platform, and the digging out of the roadbed under the former S/B local track in order to depress it and allow for the crossover from the north side of the Manny B tks to the relocated and renumbered S/B A-3 tk. I don't have the old tk map in front of me right now, but in addition to significant realigning of the tracks in the Dekalb/Gold St area, there were also a number of track renumberings to reflect the removal of the switches at the N/E of the station and their replacement with an entirely new interlocking and track configuration at the S/E. Under the old configuration, It was originally possible for Brighton trains to bypaas Dekalb which they can no longer do, although the S/B bypass tk was removed many years before reconstruction actually took place. Having worked in and around the Dekalb area in all my operating TA titles, I fail to see why the bypass tracks were removed, since they could have been kept under the new configuration and allowed for greater flexibility in the event of a service disruption. |
