Posted by Michael549 on Fri Oct 30 12:55:46 2009, in response to 50 St/8 Av is a unique station, posted by gbs on Fri Oct 30 01:29:41 2009. Remember that when the IND subway was built, Madison Square Garden was located at 50th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues. When the 8th Avenue subway was built it was meant to replace the 9th Avenue elevated line which also had a branch crossing 53rd Street and traveling down Sixth Avenue. So these kinds of elements were incorporated into the designs of the IND subway.Mike |
