The reason I remember the summer of 1958 is because for a brief period that year, the TA ran a weekend Rockaway Special from 42/8 lower to Playland station using a train of R-16s and I rode it one Sunday that year with my family and I remember seeing the structure west of Hudson St still up. Since I lived in uptown Manhattan at the time, I didn't frequent that part of the transit system until the following year when I had been in high school for a while and my mother finally allowed me to ride the subway alone. Since I had mentioned that I saw the abandoned Rockaway Av station from the 14 St Line that would place my observation of it at least 1959 and possibly later as you have indicated. |
