Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sun Jan 8 11:43:36 2012, in response to Re: Abandoned Utica Ave Upper Level (Pix Coming Soon), posted by randyo on Fri Jan 6 20:49:28 2012. Service ended at Rockaway Ave, but construction continued eastward up to January 1942, when all major civilian construction projects were suspended so we could gear up for war production. By that time the tunnel under Pitkin to Euclid was pretty much done. They had to wait until 1945 to re-start construction, which first allowed the line to be extended to ENY in 1946 and Euclid in 1948.As for the alignment choice, I think the city wanted to maintain pressure on the BMT by directly competing with the entire Fulton St. line. |
