I know it's nice playing armchair general, but it never would have happened. Although the 155St/8Av station could support steel subway cars, there would be other issues, as well. Remove Sedgewick Ave station platforms, widen tunnel clearances east of Anderson/Jerome, plus one more thing that no one brought up here. The old Putnam Bridge was the last steam powered swing bridge in NYC. It would need to have been rebuilt or replaced. Remember, there was a Recession, starting in late 1956. Also, the TA did not have the money for this project. The 2nd Ave subway funding had been diverted to keep the existing lines running. |
