I have not looked closely at the site in some time, but on the outside face of the large south structural girder that crosses Jackson Avenue - this is some of the remaining track structure that the BMT used under the original arrangement - aren't there some vertical elements where girders to a Jackson Avenue extension could have been attached?It raises the question of how the BMT planned to connect their proposed crosstown line to the Queensboro Plaza station. The Jackson Avenue junction with the existing structure seems the most logical place, and I am guessing the crosstown trains would have terminated at the same platform as the Flushing/Astoria shuttle trains, unless there were plans to run through trains into Manhattan. This would have made the BMT side of the station a major transfer point, and arguably more convenient for Brooklyn riders to/from Manhattan than the old GG service to Queens Plaza. |
