R-10's At Hinsdale Street - BMT Fulton (4/15/1956) |
|
|
Posted by William A. Padron on Sun Apr 15 14:14:59 2012 And so, 56 years ago today on April 15, 1956, a train of R-10's are seen in center track layup storage at the Hinsdale Street station on the BMT Fulton Street elevated line in Brooklyn. It would be exactly two weeks later after this photo was taken that the IND Division would take over the outer portion of the route along Liberty Avenue in Queens, with the extension of the "A" line out to Lefferts Boulevard.R-10 #3320, Hinsdale Street, BMT Fulton Line, 4/15/1956. -William A. Padron ["Broadway Short Line"] |

The center track (and the post dual contract rebuild) extended almost all the way to the Pennsylvania Ave station. Here's a good aerial view of the area in 1924:http://gis.nyc.gov/doitt/nycitymap/index.jsp?z=8&p=1012416,184044&c=GIS1924 |

Was that among the 30 R10's that weer assigned to the BMT ? I see a route sign fo the 14.How far into the old Fulton el is this ? I thought it could not handle "dual-contract" weight trains. |

The dual contract rebuild extended from just west (RR north) of Nostrand to just west (RR north) of Penna Av. Those portions of Fulton could support the weight of steels. The portion of the structure east (RR south) of the old Grant Av (City Line) station which includes the portion taken over by the IND was entirely new construction since prior to the dual contracts, Grant was the terminal of the Fulton el. |

Why does the trackway next to the R-10 appear to be ballast instead of el structure, and where's the track? Was`this section abandoned way before the IND takeover? |

Interesting how the neighborhood around Hinsdale St changed. In 1956, there were still a lot of small buildings (residences?) around. By 1996, a lot of the areas were reduced to empty lots. By 2010, large industrial(?)/storage(?) buildings have sprung up. |

The canopies, railings, lighting, mezzanines....everything, was built identically to the Broadway El rebuild. It was also identical to the construction on Jamaica Ave, except the Fulton rebuild had a center track. |

Here is a train of them in #14 service...R-10 #3327, Broadway Junction-Eastern Parkway, BMT Nassau St./Jamaica Line [no date given]. -William A. Padron ["Fulton-East N.Y."] |

Indeed, that area has gone from residential to industrial. Explains why patronage at Atlantic Ave on the L is only a fraction of what it was, even with the loss of nearby stations like Hinsdale St in the 50's. |

But, looking at the 1924 aerial maps, the Fulton St stations, while identical in appearance and length to the Broadway stations were built much closer together. Sometimes only 3 blocks apart. |

Also the 1924 image may have been taken at a time when the ENY station on the Manhattan Beach branch was still open for passenger service.Speaking of LIRR yards, it you move northeast by about a mile, you can clearly see a long gone electric MU yard on the Atlantic Ave line, nearby where the old el station ramped down to the surface. It's now some sort of housing development bordered by Montauk and Berriman streets on the sides, Atlantic Ave to the north and Liberty Ave to the south. There's also an elevated coal chute near Van Siclen and Atlantic, where the McDonalds is today. |

Interestingly, perhaps unlike the Broadway El and Myrtle el where they removed some stations (like Evergreen AVe on Myrtle and Park Ave on Broadway), it doesn't seem like they did that on Fulton.The Fulton Rebuild bothers me to no end, being a big fan of the Eastern Division, that a beautifully rebuilt el was rebuilt and removed just 25 years later, one that was so identical to my favorite lines like Broadway El and Jamaica. It's also so ironic that Fulton even got the express track which Jamaica never did....Jamaica needs it express track more than just about every el in the system (with the except of perhaps Flushing which obviously needs it more), and it was the only dual contract el other than Livonia that didn't get it. It's also one that would be heavily used today if it had been put in, unlike most of the others which sit idle. |

Wow, so they must have REALLY been close together on the original unrebuilt el. That said, when they rebuilt them, they were rebuilt to the lengths of 8 car, 67 foot cars, about 540 feet like the Broadway, Jamaica, and Myrtle North stations, whereas the original ones were probably much smaller than that. |

I think he was referring to the length of the middle track. The aerial maps I've seen show the middle track extending quite a ways east of the Hinsdale St. station itself. The distance from Van Sinderen to the end of this track (also the end of the 1915 dual contract rebuild) could be about half a mile. I bet that track was covered end to end by Broadway Brooklyn locals taking either the midday or weekend off. Putting them in the ENY yard would have required a reverse move into and out of Atlantic Avenue. |

I don't believe that yard was referred to as "AY." The only AY that I am aware of was the old yard at Rock Pky that was perpendicular to the Canarsie line and which was removed when the current yard formerly known as the "dump" was expanded. |

I didn't realize any of the western portion of the Fulton Street el got the dual contract upgrade. Knowing that:- the rest of the Fulton el should have been upgraded to Grant Ave - the IND Fulton local terminal should have been set permanently at Bway Jct - The IND subway east of Bway Jct should have been a 2 track local subway for A trains - The Lefferst el should have had combined BMT Bway-Bklyn/Fulton el "14" locals to Lefferts and IND "A" service to the Rockaways. |

The problem with that would have been that there would have been an unnecessary duplication of services along Pitkin Av east of Bway Jct with a 3 track Fulton el above Pitkin and a 2 track subway beneath. Unfortunately, even though the city took over the BMT in 1940, and it might have been cheaper for the city to rebuild the Fulton St el to dual contract standards between Hinsdale St and Grant Av and connect the entire rebuilt structure to the IND terminal at Rocky Av via a portal similar to the one on the F line at McDonald Av rather than build an entire new subway under Pitkin Av, the anti el mentality of the city at the time precluded that from happening. |

Like the Culver el which was taken over by the IND 2 years earlier, the platforms were lengthened to accommodate the 10 car IND trains. Originally, all of the Southern Division platforms were only able to hold 8 steels but were extended after Chrystie St to hold the IND standard of 10 X 60 ft cars. |

The windscreens on the open edges of the Liberty Ave el stations obscure the distinct difference between the original station and the 1950's extensions. |

It looks like by 1951 some pieces of it were still there, including something that looks like part of the spur? By 1996 though, only something that looks like a yellow sidewalk is there, aside from the McD's. |

But how to properly utilize the 4-track tunnel already built under Fulton? They would have to, at least, change the el structure from Rockaway Ave to Atlantic Ave to 4 tracks. Then, somehow merge the extra track with the Canarsie line or somehow tie in tracks to Bway Junction and draw off traffic from Jamaica. Otherwise, leaving the el structure at 3 tracks west of Atlantic would just add another bottleneck on top of the one at Hoyt-Schermerhorn, making the express tracks even more useless than the ones between Bergen and Church. |

Although I haven't taken the time to look at the images you describe (I'm totally unfamiliar with the area), I'm also going to suggest that folks on here consult www.historicaerials.com, which includes images from 1954, 1966 & 1980 (and sometimes other years), letting us see how the city changed in the years between 1951 and today.I find the 1966 images very informative- most of the Moses highways are in place (as is Lincoln Center), but otherwise, the city is very different from today. |

I,ve seen a photo of it in an old ERA bulletin when it was steam operated.it stretched from van sinderen & pitkin for 2 blocks east.iirc to alabama ave& south almost to sutter ave.no trains were in the yard & the only connecting track was true E/B.in one of the old ENY sites there is a photo of the yard taken in the 1930`s showing it with 3rd rail,again no trains in the yard. |
