Posted by VictorM on Sat Jun 30 22:03:45 2012 Ben Heckscher posted some great new construction photos on his site. Here's one of them: It shows the upper (southbound) and lower (northbound) tunnels where they curve away from 63 St near 3 Av heading towards 2 Av. |

Great pix, thank you very much.The more I see how much manpower and equipment is needed to build this little portion of the SAS, the more respect I have for William Barclay Parsons, August Belmont, John McDonald and all of the workers who built the original IRT line. Who knows what kind of problems this new line will have once its in service - the new South Ferry station shows us that modern technology doesn't always provide a superior product. The original IRT is still going strong at age 108. It can easily last another 100 years with minimal trouble. |
