It is actually located at 32nd StreetI wonder how many tourists have been seriously inconvenienced by this. Worse than "West 4th Street" because at least in that case you just have to walk a block in either direction to find the station. At 33rd, you might walk north and never find it. |

Ironic that today, near the old H&M, now PATH "33rd Street" station at 32nd Street, there is still an "H&M" presence. Only it's the clothing store chain at the building on Herald Square that once housed Saks 34th Street and later Korvettes. |

Even prior to the IND, stations on the dual contract portions of the IRT and BMT as well as the entire 14 St Line east of Montrose all have type II roadbed. |

Type I is also in ballast as opposed to the concrete roadbed if Type II. Certain parts of the non dual contract potions of the IRT and the ballasted portions of the BMT have been done in a modified Type II in which every 5th tie (usually the 3rd rail support tie) is a full tie. The Philly Broad St is done this way. The original Type II as found on the dual contract portions of the IRT and BMT had the ties bolted into the concrete. The IND and newer potions of the BMT That have the Type II have no bolts as it was felt that the concrete held the ties sufficiently in place. On heavy curves, not only are the ties bolted, but in some places the modified type is used. I have noticed recently that on the modified Type II installations there is a short section of rebar through the ties to hold them in place more firmly. |
