It must have operated somewhat similar to other stations that were not meant to be a terminal, such as Flatbush Ave, 121st St or Queens Blvd on the J.The covering over of the local tracks answers a lot of questions, meaning they used the express tracks in that station at the time. It's easier using an island plaform station as a terminal, but as we know, side platform stations can be used as terminals too if they need be. Did the trains leave from either side platform, or did they enter in the eastbound station unload, and then come back on the manhattan bound side? |
