Posted by Mellow One on Wed Jun 11 17:15:25 2008, in response to Re: Park Row Track Layout, posted by trainsarefun on Tue Jun 10 22:00:34 2008. The Park Row terminal structure was lengthened out over City Hall Park around 1905, then shortened back to the (original?) curb line about 1919 and then shortened again back to the frontage on Park Row.The Dual Contract construction projects linking BMT subway and BRT elevated lines and expanding elevated subway service with the Culver and New Utrecht (West End) and Sea Beach Lines diminished the need for the Park Row Terminal. Other factors that lessened the use of the Park Row Terminal were severing of The Fulton / Brighton connection and the Myrtle Ave Line was connected to the Broadway (subway) Line. Later, the 14th St Subway opened to East NY in 1928. In 1933, the IND Subway opened to replace the Fulton St El in Brooklyn (and the 9th Ave El in Manhattan (although, the 6th Ave El went first in 1937 to facilitate the IND 6th Ave Subway being built beneath it) in 1940). |
