The army would never lose a shipment of tanks and not find them.he was pulling your chain.I heard from a signal maintainer that beyound the cinder block wall on the yard leads going to 76st.there was a forgotten low V,I told its just a legend.the 2 cops I worked with in the 75pct.who were actualy in the station said there is nothing but roadbed up to the e/b station,all track,3rd rail and signals were long since removed.I,m gone for the weekend so I,ll talk to you monday afternoon. |

Posted by Elkeeper on Sat Nov 12 21:45:23 2005, in response to Re: nevins st,lower level, posted by monorail on Thu Nov 10 22:49:10 2005. I read in Cunningham and Dehart's Brooklyn book that in 1911, the IRT had proposed using the north side tracks of the Manhattan Bridge to connect a rebuilt 3rd Ave. El to the Nevins Street lower level. They were turned down and both sets of tracks were given to the BRT. Anyone know any more about this? |
