Polo grounds shuttle was to be connected to Lenox Line |

Posted by seabeachexpress on Tue Oct 16 11:38:48 2012 I read something that after the el was torn down south of 155st that the city wanted to connect the end of the Lenox line to the el stub end and run 7ave/lenox trains to the Woodlawn line but the thing that stopped it was the tunnel from Sedgwick to Anderson was built for El car widths with uncovered 3rd rail. not wide enough for subway cars. Since it was built in 1918 that was very poor planning by the dual contracts. If this is so why did they have polo grounds on the roll signs of the R12's if they couldn't fit in the tunnel? |
