Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Thu May 17 22:52:45 2007, in response to Re: 3rd Avenue El being torn down, posted by Wallyhorse on Thu May 17 22:25:31 2007. I understand why the el had to go. It was old and obsolete. But it should have remained in service until the SAS was built. That fact would have spurred construction of this line decades ago. I still don't understand why the 3rd Ave el wasn't torn down in 1942 and the 2nd Ave. el retained. It was a newer structure, had connections to Queens lines and was a long block further to the east. Even today, 3rd Ave and 2nd Ave are totally different in character. 3rd Ave. is commercial, 2nd more residential. |
