If I am not mistaken, the Centre St Subway was designed with Railroads in mind. In fact the city built designed and built it. Originally, the design was supposed to be two side by side systems going through Canal St and Bowery, and it was designed that it could be a railroad. I remember reading that somewhere. Of course the BMT wound up with the whole Centre St subway. |

And I can't imagine a train operator or conductor would have gotten all the way to Crescent without thinking, hey, we shouldn't be doing this. It seems way too far fetched. |

Actually, when there had been some consideration to modifying the Eastern Division for 75 ft cars, since the R-68s were originally single cars, they would have been operated in 6 car consists. |

The current northbound tracks at Chambers Street were supposed to continue south for the Brooklkn Bridge. There would have been a looping operation with the Manhattan Bridge. I don't know if this is after the Chestnut Street Incline and LIRR service was abandoned. |

But this was before Chambers St. This plan I believe from what I read a while back only was the original plan for Bowery and Canal St, Chambers was built slightly later, after the plan changed. |
