The Fulton St. IND orignally terminated at Rockaway Ave. Was ENY (B'way Jct. today) late too?Totally not the same thing. Broadway-East new York was built, tiled, and ready to go, however, because of the war, they couldn't get the metal to install the rest of the tracks and signalling to terminate at that station, so they terminated it at Roackaway Ave. But Bway-East New York was there already. In fact, while Bway-East New York was even tiled and ready to go, outside of the wiring and tracks, etc, the line was built all the way to Euclid (and perhaps even further to the controversial 76th St), but past east new York it was just station shells. East New York was a ready station, outside of it's trackage and signalling/wiring. |
