Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sat Jan 19 23:06:35 2008, in response to Re: Design your own IND Re: G Train to be cut back to Court Square permanently, posted by BMTLines on Sat Jan 19 20:46:38 2008. I know. Actually, the reason Marcy Ave was never rebuilt when the rest of the Broadway El was rebuilt under dual contracts (Marcy was the only side platform station on the original 1888 el), because March was supposed to be replaced with an express station similar to Broadway Junction and Myrtle at Williamsburg Bridge Plaza. There was a dispute between who was to pay for it though, the city or the BMT, and it wound up never being built, and Marcy remained original unimproved el until the early 1980's when it was renovated.Yes, the switches were moved (some time before that of course) to allow it to become an express station, which makes more sense. But the reason it was a local station so long was because of that dispute in the 1910's. |
