I dont understand why all this talk is about it being so hard to extend the platforms along Nassau. First off, the platforms were able to handle 8 car BMT Standards trains which were 67 feet, so the platforms have to be at least 522 feet long to have once allowed for the BMT standards. So a 10 car train would be 600 feet...that's only about 75-80 feet of extension....35-40 feet or so on each side. This was done all over the system to the rest of the BMT. There's nothing harder along the Nassau line that would make this such a project that wasn't encountered elsewhere in the 60's when this was being done everywhere else. |
