Posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Tue Oct 16 16:50:09 2012, in response to Polo grounds shuttle was to be connected to Lenox Line, posted by seabeachexpress on Tue Oct 16 11:38:48 2012. Sea Beach: Subway could and did run on the Polo Grounds Shuttle though I believe that they had modified third rail shoes. One of the stories given out at the time was that the regular type subway third rail shoes would not clear the tunnel walls. I think that the bigger obstacle to extending the Lenox Avenue Line was the Putnam Bridge over the Harlem River. It was built 1881 and was steam powered.Larry, RedbirdR33 |
