Posted by randyo on Mon Apr 27 04:42:06 2009, in response to Re: Tunnel stubs, posted by daDouce Man on Sun Apr 26 15:37:34 2009. On the N/B side N/O Roosevelt there is only a bellmouth. On the S/B side, however ther is a ramp comig all the way down from the upper level which reportedly had a layup track on it probably for storage when the line terminated at Roosevelt. If it hasn't been replaced with new signalling, just N/O where the switch was, there is an automatic signal D1-1415 which is atually a home ball with the lower portion's lenses covered over by the type of metal plates used to cover where the green lens would go on station approach signals. The bellmouths at woodhaven were provisions for converting the station to an express stop but I'm not sure if that extend all the way behind the station walls or not. AFAIK, The area N/O Van Wyck/Briarwood now used by the Archer Av Line never had any track in it until the Archer Av Line was constructed. from what I understand, the upper leval tracks at 179 were to continue to the city line and there have been reports that some trackage was built a few blocks beyond the bumping blocks. Maybe we'll find out after we find out the truth about 76 St. (I couldn't resist.) |
