Posted by Stephen Bauman on Wed Jun 11 20:16:17 2008, in response to Re: Park Row Track Layout, posted by Mellow One on Wed Jun 11 17:15:25 2008. 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).Use at the Park Row Terminal peaked in 1908. That was the year that IRT service opened to Brooklyn. |
