"It is a fact that subway construction in the outer boroughs effectively ended when the IND South Brooklyn line opened in about 1940.."Nonsense. "since then there have been a few cosmetic things done such as extending the South Brooklyn IND down the Culver line, the opening of the Rockaway branch " Well, in that case, the Second Avenue Subway is just cosmetic too. How long was the Rockaway extension? Let's see, adding at least 8 miles of track and stations that are now available for payment of one fare as opposed to an expensive LIRR ticket...hmmm....better give you the whole box of tissue, not just one. Of course we forgot to mention that the Chrystie St project of 1967 added core capacity to the 6th Av line. Without that core capacity you could not have the level of service you have now on the B, D and F lines going to Brooklyn. But that's just cosmetic.:0) |
