The portion over Fulton street is not ex-Kings County structure. It was part of Brooklyn Elevated's Old Main Line: Hudson/Park/Grand/Lexington/Broadway/Fulton. A lot of people make that mistake! However, you are right that the "J" structure will never change. Third tracking the Jamaica Ave section cannot happen unless the express track is built over the existing Fulton Street structure.And, for some reason, no one wants to do that job! The MTA even erected a crane in 1967 or 68, just west of the Alabama Ave station, but it lasted only a few months. Nothing was ever done- or will be!!! |
