Posted by handbrake on Sun Jan 8 11:41:41 2012, in response to Re: Abandoned Utica Ave Upper Level (Pix Coming Soon) & 76th Street Saga, posted by randyo on Sun Jan 8 04:23:28 2012. Based on information found on the Internet, proposed IND expansion into southern Queens via the present Fulton Line included a dual transportation feed geographically east of Euclid. Reuse of the present in use Dual Contract Liberty Avenue elevated structure, and a subway route with a connection to the LIRR RoW.Tunnel construction method employed south of Euclid does not show the added on construction features found in most post 1940 IND/BMT interconnections. Instead, tunnel structural construction at the point where tracks K1 & K2 rise, and turn geographically north east towards Grant Avenue appears integrated to the total design of the main line tunnel structure that ends in the vicinity of survey marker 412+00. This also explains the high roof and wide width subway tunnel construction south of the two K track ramps, and anticipates the decent and meeting point of yard leads A7 & A8 at a point north of the proposed 74th Street station. The model board at Euclid displays a run away bumper block at the end of track A7 to suggest a descending ramp. Just as it shows the same for track K2. This will then highly suggest that yard lead tracks K5/K6 & A7/A8 were constructed at or about the same time, with A7 & A8 turning due east to meet the never built main line and at what should be a grade crossing at a point where tracks K5 & K6 begin. This also explains the home signal A7 facing south, shown on the LVT Squad's web photo, that protecting movement to a switch at K5, and that has raised questions that fuel the speculation of an IND station at 74th Street. I know of a change to the K chaining code change on K6 at 41250/000 that must place it at or about the A7/8 junction. Hence the A7 home signal's designation of A7 2 at marker location 2+00. |
