Posted by randyo on Wed Aug 20 16:01:49 2008, in response to Re: Atlantic Avenue Viaduct (LIRR).....Re: Els Cause Blight, posted by RIPTA42HopeTunnel on Wed Aug 20 07:06:20 2008. Many of the original BMT el structures particularly in the Eastern Div lacked outside catwalks for many years. As late as 1969, when I was a M/M on the A line the former BMT Liberty Av structure had not yet had them installed. Most of the CTA el structures also lack outside catawlks to this day. In fact, the lack of outside catwalks on BMT el structures may well have been the reason why the BMT signal stop arms were located on the left hand side of the track instead of the right hand side as was IRT practice. |
