Posted by randyo on Tue Mar 10 18:07:55 2009, in response to Re: Tunnel stubs, posted by metropod on Sat Mar 7 10:24:54 2009. Correct. That "balcony" was to have carried Centre St trains coming from Bway Bkln over the Bkln Bridge. As originally planned, the present J2 and J4 tracks would have gone over the Bkln Br. The present J1 and J3 tks (Which when the line first opened might very well have retained the "H" designations since trains coming off the H tracks of the Manny B originally terminated there) were to have continued under the Bkln Br tracks to the Nassau St Line. By the time the Nassau St extension was built plans to operate via the Bkln Br were dropped and the BMT was actually looking towards getting its trains off the Bkln Br entirely thus the present track layout S/O Chambers St was constructed. before Nassau St was built, J4 tk rose at the asme grade as J2 to the south (railroad north) end of Chambers St in anticipation of the Bkln Br connection. When the new configuration was developed, the grade of J4 was changed to bring it under the 2 outside tracks going to Nassau St and connect it to the new relay track that was built as part of the project. |
