Posted by William A. Padron on Wed Nov 17 08:09:49 2010, in response to Re: Oddities in an early 1940s Subway Map, posted by gbs on Wed Nov 17 00:59:46 2010. >>That deep burgundy-red at Utica et seq. (and formerly at 34/8, 5/53 lower, and Tremont) is a gorgeous, rich color,<<This may surprise some, but a portion of the original tiling at Tremont Avenue on the IND Concourse line (including with the some of the lettering blocks) had been exposed. This was caused by a steam water pipe that somehow burst out, and made some of the redone tiles to pop off the original surface and go on the tracks. It can be seen currently towards the north end of the station on the side wall of the uptown local track. By the way, the deep burgundy red tile color band was also seen at the BMT Nassau Street Line's Fulton Street station, but it had all been covered up in the mid-1990's rehabiliation with BRT-style designed wall tiles. -William A.
