Posted by Handbrake on Fri Jan 6 22:40:39 2012, in response to Re: Abandoned Utica Ave Upper Level (Pix Coming Soon) & 76th Street Saga, posted by tunnelrat on Fri Jan 6 22:23:10 2012. The A8 BB should have been near the A7 BB, since the proposed yard leads would have split to descend onto the main line at a point just north (Geo west) of the planned 76th Street station.I would like to know year that the old timer rode the pump car into that portion of the tunnel. As stated earlier, both A7 & A8 tunnel trackways were observed to end in a large earth pile at a point, and switches had been removed at a point where K5 & K6 met the original B/B yard leads. I would be surprised if masonry blocks are used to wall off both A7 & A8 tunnels are cinder block, since cinder block is rather porous and would be poor at holding back water that might enter the closed off tunnel. Do you have any survey marker references with regards to actual locations? |
