Posted by grimace1169 on Mon Jan 30 15:06:16 2012, in response to Re: Abandoned Utica Ave Upper Level (Pix Coming Soon) & 76th Street Saga, posted by N6 Limited on Sun Jan 8 16:44:57 2012. View Larger Map When you click on the link and zoom in 4 times, you will notice the 2 sets of grates in the middle of the Conduit in the picture. The grates on the left next to Pitkin go down to the Euclid tail tracks, famous in the day to all of the graffiti artists but also a common spot for new employees to be trained on emergency exits. The tail tracks end at Elderts Lane. There is another emergency exit that is just before the bulkhead wall that comes up on the north side Pitkin Ave. just west of Elderts. That is the Grant Ave. station house at the top of the screen. The grates on the right is what I want to focus on. Just slightly north and east of the grates, maybe ten feet, is where the cinderblock wall is for A7 and A8. The active tracks for Pitkin yard are just to the left of these grates. Now A7 and A8 are supposed to gently curve north-east and join the mainline under Pitkin Ave. and, supposedly, 76 St. If that is the case, A7 and A8 go directly underneath some of those homes on that triangle which is bordered by Grant, Pitkin, Eldert and the Conduit. Perhaps this could help the mystery. Do these people know about this under their homes?? I doubt it. |
