So much so that the IND wanted to build the Crosstown subway under Throop and Gates avenue..rather its present course.

First time I ever saw any mention of Throop & Gates Ave for any proposed Crosstown line. The current route under Lafayette Ave, had been proposed for an IRT line, going back to the old Tri-Boro and later Dual Contract eras. Franklin Ave or Bedford Ave (tunnelrat's favorite!) had been proposed for the IND.

They did almost same thing when they closed the Park Ave section of the Old Main Line, from Hudson to Grand and Grand to Myrtle. Closed for "repairs" on Dec 8th, 1889. Abandoned a year later on Dec 30th, 1890.

No. The City planners wanted to extend the business/shopping are from Downtown. Their plans included a satellite "downtown' area, centered at Fulton/Nostrand. To that end, the express station there was built.
There has been some debate as to whether Nostrand/Fulton was originally planned as it is, or had been first designed as a local stop, modified for express use. Its setup is unique in the IND system.

Basically, yes. They were designed to run in both directions, either smokestack first, or coal bunker first.

With how wide the express platforms are, I always thought that deciding to make Nostrand Avenue a local station was last minute decision. Franklin Avenue would’ve been the better choice.

It also doesn’t help that if the Crosstown Line was to use Throop Avenue, IND has theme of not making express stations where lines split off from each other.

The only places I can think of where the IND doesn’t have an exp station at the exact junction points are 50/8, Van Wyck/Briarwood and the connection, if ever built, to the Rockaway Line at 63 Dr. All the other junctions are just past express stations. Although of all the proposed IND second system lines, the proposed Bedford Av subway seems to have the least documentation about it. It was to provide for a transfer to the Bedford Av subway that Nostrand was designed the way in was.

One of the JoeKorner's features that I came across a few months back at the website, were track diagrams redrawn, clear and detailed, for the second system, done by a friend/colleague of his. These were based on the linen quality paper plans that Joe had scanned and made images of for the site (these are still accessible).


The drawings covered Brooklyn and some of Queens. IIRC a couple of different versions for tracks east of S.4th st., local tracks going up to Glendale (via Bedford Nostrand on the diagram??), I think, and the Utica ave. subway, again a couple of different versions for this route to connect to the trunk line east of S4. I never copied and and saved them, so what I remember isn't exact. I also seem to recall track layouts for a Bedford Ave Subway (?) as well as the Borden ave. route.
I remember 2nd, 6th, and 8th ave routes converging on S4. 8th via Worth St. conn., 6th (and 2nd - don't remember the latter clearly) via Houston & 2nd ave. And they split up east of S4 - the exact details, I don't remember the plans clearly, unfortunately.

These re-drawn plans are not at the site anymore (unless someone has come across them) that I could find - maybe they were taken down for some reason?

**I also found an archived version of this site at webarchives, which has material in the Subway Information section, that is not at the current site.

I thank those who are keeping his site on-line, and again, never met Joe K. but I respect and am grateful to him, for putting together his site, with its wealth of information, for all interested in transit & its history, it's his legacy, and he will remain in peoples' memory.

Thank you so much, R42ToMoffat! I could swear those page links weren't there when I went to the site seven to ten days ago. I could have missed them, but I don't see how, since the links list is quite short.

What I did notice, was that now color was added, for stations, crossings not at grade (diving under or going over), and divisions for chaining points. So maybe he took them down, revised them with the color added and the chaining info. (though maybe the latter was there, first time I went to the pages), and then put them back up.

And Tom O'Neill, if you are on Subchat, thanks so much for your efforts, to unravel the 2nd system route info.!

You're welcome. I kept the link bookmarked since when I was younger, I came across it when I started getting into transit history.

It scared me that the J/Z line, my favorite line, may not have been around since I read that it would've truncated to Crescent Street and recaptured at 121st Street.

One thing that didn't happen that I wish did was triple tracking the line east of Broadway Junction.

Had the Crosstown line been built under Franklin Ave, it would have been an express stop. In the late 1920's there were a lot of visions to make Fulton Street, minus the el, into a long shopping/business avenue. The proponents of running the Crosstown line under Lafayette Ave won out. Their argument was that the best way to enlarge the Downtown area was to expand it, immediately north-west of Fulton St, along Lafayette.

If the Crosstown had been run down Franklin Ave from Lafayette, the tunnel west of it would not be needed. Also, that 6 track station at Hoyt-Schermerhorn would have been a 4 track express stop, instead of 6.

It was a two track island platform station, like all the stations on that line and Myrtle lines were before the rebuild in the 1910s. I would assume they looked something like the Myrtle line stations south of Broadway.

That's almost exactly what my answer was to his question last week about the Park Avenue station on the Broadway line. The upside of the lack of love for the Myrtle line past Bway is the stations looked more or less the same as when built up to the end.

The MTA had plans to triple track the Jamaica Ave part of the line, and elevate a center track above the structure, between Alabama Ave and Crescent St. In 1966-67, they even had a derrick mounted on the never-finished ramp, just west of Alabama Ave. I saw that for myself, as I was living near the end of the Interboro Pkwy, as it was known at the time. It just sat there, unused, until one day, it was removed.

Good point. The Fulton/Lex service was started so that people from downtown Bkln could get a one seat ride without having to change at Rockaway Av from the A to the el. Even if anyone wanted stations beyond Grant they would only have to cross the platform instead of dealing with stairs.

I believe that the Fulton-Lex was a mid-day service to/from Grant Ave. The Multis ran on the 14 St-Fulton, during the rush hours, with the Lex going to 111 St on the jamaica line.

Whenever I see this, I imagine how fun it could've been if the express track of the Jamaica Line would've made every station look like 111th Street on the Flushing Line.





But then I somewhat disappoint myself by reading this:

Actually, the Fulton/Lex was also a rush hour only service. It would have provided excellent photo opportunities for railfans wit 3 types of equipment running on Fulton, C types, BUs and Multis and if you photoed at Atlantic you could add a few steels into the mix as well.

Come to think of it this is probably 1948-1950. IIRC the Lex-Fulton had been cut back to Grant (from Lefferts) in 1948, and the Lex shut down in 1950. What confused me was the woman seen through the window. On my phone it looked like a 1920-ish hairstyle.

If you notice in the photo, the route “request” punch which basically only lined up the automatic tower for whichever train was ready is on the M/Ms side on M1 tk. Sometime before I started in 1966, the route request box was moved to the platform side. Most likely it was done in the 1950s when the Qs replaced the BUs. For some reason, when both pockets were empty, the automatic interlocking lined trains up straight iron into M2 tk and only lined them into M1 when M2 was occupied. I would have though that it made more sense to have the arriving trains cross over and leave straight iron, but for whatever reason it wasn’t done that way.

In my photo, picture of the outbound Bluebird, on the westernmost outbound track at Atlantic Ave, was taken standing on that platform. B'way-Junction was in the background.
IIRC, the AB, was on the Jamaica Line, a C-type I think was in there somewhere, and in the top far right, you could just make out an outbound Lex BU on the Jamaica line.

and finally take copy and save the info. into a Word doc.

in NYC, RR north is city-bound RR south is outbound from the city?

if so, this would mean, trains that are Pelham, Wht.Plains Rd., 179th St., New Lots, E. 105th St., and Stillwell Ave. bound are traveling RR south?

Until Chrystie, the rule was than any train passing through Bkln enroute to Manhattan regardless of its point of origin was northbound. The track numbers even bear this out since under the BMT/IND tk numbering system, even number tks are northbound and odd numbered tks are southbound. At the physical south but RR north end of Chambers St the track numbers change since the Nassau St portion of the line is considered to be Southern Div rather than Eastern so J2 tk becomes R1 Tk. The towerman at Broad St listed all trains on the train interval sheets passing the interlocking as northbound from Chambers and southbound to Chamber and that included the Culver and West End trains which were actually southbound going towards the Montague St tube. This really presented little difficulty until the Jamaica Line was through routed with the Brighton Lcls into the Southern Div as the QJ. To eliminate confusion, the TA specified that QJs operating towards Stillwell would be designated southbound and Qjs going towards Jamaica would be designated northbound. KKs and Ms along Bway Bkln going in the same physical direction, however remained northbound towards Manhattan and southbound lvg Manhattan so the confusion was just moved from one location to another. In 1972, when the M was extended to the Brighton Line and the former QJ renamed the J truncated at Broad St, the M was redesignated S/B to Stillwell and N/B to Met, but the J remained the same as before. Now along Bway Bkln, there were 2 S/B services, the J and M, and 1 N/B service, the K operating in the same physical direction but with opposite directional designations. Now the M is operating along 6 Av towards Continental and is back to being properly designated northbound lvg Met and southbound towards met, but the TA has not seen fit to redesignate the J back to its proper designation of northbound lvg Jamaica and southbound towards Jamaica even though it no longer operates in the Southern Division.
