Posted by Handbrake on Fri Jan 6 21:59:47 2012, in response to Re: Abandoned Utica Ave Upper Level (Pix Coming Soon) & 76th Street Saga, posted by randyo on Fri Jan 6 21:39:18 2012. Tracks A7 & A8 both end at a point where they would have turned due east (SOUTH) towards the Pitkin Avenue extension. K5 & K6 were latter added from Grant Avenue and reused part of the A7/8 tunnel trackways to/from the Pitkin yard portal. Both A & K track designations are shown on a NYCT track system diagram as a single trackway path between Pitkin yard & Grant Avenue.The concrete (Cinder) block walls you mention are at the crux of what many believe to be a sealed up subway tunnel that leads to the proposed IND 76th Street station. The main IND trackway under Pitkin Avenue end at concrete bulkhead walls, as mentioned, and not at a masonry (Cinder) block wall as many are lead to believe. Why A7 & A8 were sealed up, is any one's guess, but not to a station.. |
