Posted by Randyo on Fri Feb 4 16:26:39 2011, in response to Re: 76st what happened?, posted by SMAZ on Fri Feb 4 15:50:27 2011. While I have not been to the station itself, I have been to the end of track S/O Euclid as well as along the accessible trackways of A7 and A8 as well as K5 and K6 and as I said in another post, the mainline tracks of the Fulton St Subway are at least 3 levels below the street. The tunnels for the Grant Av station are the closest to street level and that station is actually pretty deep itself. Next come the tunnels for K5 and K6 yard leads which would be beneath the Grant Ave station and on approximately the same plane as the A7 and A8 yard leads from Pitkin Yd which are 2 levels below the street. That means that the station shell itself even allowing for the dip in Pitkin Av has to be at least 2 levels below the street and probably even deeper since the Pitkin Av mainline tracks continue downgrade towards the concrete bulkhead at the end of track. With the possibility that Pitkin was through routed with old South Rd in conjunction with subway construction, it is extremely doubtful that the city would not have constructed the subway shell sufficiently below ground so as to make it not visible from either the street itself or the adjacent properties. |
