I would assume the Fulton El would have instead been connected to the Cranberry tube. As it was, until they ran out of money, the BMT was supposed to connect the Fulton El via the Ashland Place connection to I think the Montague Tunnel.Either way, it would have been interesting had it survived. The dual contract portions of the line were identically rebuilt and looked like the Broadway and Jamaica Els. The unrebuilt parts would have had to have been strengthened of course, and that was the section between Atlantic Ave on the L and Grant Ave, and part of the el east of Franklin. Interestingly, had the BMT not ran out of money, the Fulton El route would have fed into the Montague tunnel (which even to this day is underused), and probably have run up Broadway (but could have ran on Nassau too). |
