Regular gas in a 440 with a standard 4 barrel carburator? Not in your wettest dreams! Sunoco 260 premium fuel was about 65 cents a gallon when this car was new. Believe it or not, that was a lot of money for the smaller towns, many of which used a 318/4 barrel carb. Tunnelrat, what did the NYPD police cars have under their hoods in the mid-1960's? |

What subway contractor would excavate more tunnel than what their contract called for? Reality check! The Pitkin Ave extension, including the partial 76th St shell, was abandoned when the engineers found a costly high water table problem and decided not to continue. So, they connected Euclid Ave to the Liberty Ave el and later ran the Rockaway spur off of it. |

Ok. Good to know. And....on the "Belt Parkway", those designations still change where the segment names used to. So- formally, they are separate roads- although for common sense purposes, they're (except for the Cross Island) publicly identified as the "Belt Parkway" |

Well ... those who you pay to drag it and hand you the printouts are kinda particular about doing it "by the book" and that means you drag the sled on the ground, thank you Mighty Mouse. :)If the rails were lifted (and those I've heard it from who worked there at the time insist that nothing was pulled up) then you'd still get reflections from the rebar in all that cement, as well as the steel pillars that held up the roof like any OTHER IND construction. They supposedly didn't tile the walls other than partially, but all that cement means that there's plenty of rebar down there. GPR would DEFINITELY settle this. Even Geraldo Rivera couldn't fake it. :) |

I read/heard about tours that went to these locations. On my list is to visit the original side platforms at Brooklyn Bridge. The south end of the downtown platform is accessible but off limits, however, someone in the tower let me walk back there years ago.In 1970 I rode the Bowling Green S.

How many times must I and other people knowledgeable about the area have to repeat ourselves? The extension down Pitkin Av and the connection to the Fulton St el were intended to coexist. The entire infrastructure S/O Euclid was constructed with that in mind and the model board at Euclid tower bears this out. The Pitkin Av subway was supposed to connect to the LIRR ROW via a portal in the vicinity of old Aqueduct station while the connection to the Fulton St el was to have been made as it eventually was but with existing BMT signaling used S/O 80 (Hudson) St. When the extension down Pitkin proved unusable, the only modification made was that the connection to the LIRR would have to be made from the Fulton el structure and so the current Liberty Jct was designed which of course required new signaling to accommodate the junction that was not included in the original plans. |

There is a good reason to assume nothing was ever lifted. According to most accounts about the state of the station shell is that there were no rails ever installed much like the condition of ENY During WWII with a complete station shell but no rails or signals. The only difference between ENY and 76 St was that while ENY was completely tiled prior to opening, 76 St was only tiled on the S/B platform and it has never been made clear as to whether the wall was completely or only partially tiled. |

Supposedly the rails made it to just before the downhill to the interlocking. But there should be plenty of rebar down there to reflect back up. |

If you are looking at the aerial photo on the NYC Map Portal, I disagree. It does not look to be a trestle, it looks at grade. In fact, it appears to cross North Conduit* at grade.*Actually Albert Road/Old South Road, which occupies the modern ROW of North Conduit in that location. |
