That said, the 1951 photos prove nothing either way.The 1951 photo is CONCLUSIVE. The station allegedly operated between 1948-1952. There's nothing there. That building with the big yard setback on the corner that people like to photograph? Nothing there. That building BTW appears in the 1954 photo on HistoricAeriels.com. Property tax records indicate that the rest of the houses on that corner were built in 1960. Nothing there. It seems that all the "Stationers" go out of their way with the most outlandish scenarios for why things are not the way they are supposed to be and continue to ignore the most obvious. Nothing was built. The trackways behind the cinderblock wall probably terminate just a bit beyond where Pitkin dips after the parking lot on Elderts Lane. There is then a pronounced dip in the street. Imagine how much it dipped before Pitkin was raised? Imagine the challenges of digging in that bayou? No wonder they opted to capture the Liberty El. Cut-and cover work most likely continued to just before the school with piles of dirt left there once abandoned. The street was then raised above the roof of that portion. When NYCT was most likely having flooding and safety problems due to it, they decided to seal it off. The End. Fin. View Larger Map |
