Posted by randyo on Mon Jan 30 15:53:56 2012, in response to Re: Abandoned Utica Ave Upper Level (Pix Coming Soon) & 76th Street Saga, posted by grimace1169 on Mon Jan 30 15:06:16 2012. If we assume for a moment that the 76 St station shell is built like the rest of the Pitkin Av local stations, then it would be approximately centered on 76 St which would place the west (or north) end of the station at approximately 75 (or Ruby) street. In order to clear the station, the A7 and A8 yard leads would connect to the "mainline" close to a car length west of the station to allow for the short stub track between the S/B lcl and exp tracks which is characteristic of IND wye tracks that approach a mainline at a slight downgrade and which is shown on the proposed track map of the area. That would probably mean that the leads are already substantially curved towards Pitkin Ave by the time they reach the intersection of N Conduit and Grant. They would also be just to the east of the existing K3/4 and K5 yard leads which come up beneath and just south of Grant Av station respectively. That would probably place the point of intersection of A7 and A8 with the mainline at a point a bit east of Eldert Lane. That of course is only an estimate based on what I can observe from looking at the Google map and trying to move my view back and forth between the Pitkin Yd portal and Pitkin Av. |
