Oddities in an early 1940s Subway Map |
|
|
Posted by X-Astorian on Fri Nov 12 12:33:50 2010 The map below dates from between May 1941 (start of the Dyre Avenue Line) and June 1942 (end of the Second Avenue El). All seems as it should except for the following oddities:(1) The Culver Line is shown as dual BMT/IND service. While it was always the intention for the IND to take over the Culver is anyone aware of a plan for dual service? (2) After the Fulton Street and Fifth Avenue Els stopped in 1940, the Myrtle and Lex continued to serve Park Row until they were cut back to Bridge-Jay in March 1944. This map shows the lines ending at Sands Street, not Park Row. Again, is anyone aware of a plan to use Sands Street as the El terminal after 1940 or for that matter, after March 1944? In any event, I hope you enjoy this odd relic.  |
