Posted by Edwards! on Wed Dec 12 21:26:06 2012, in response to Re: 24 years ago today, posted by El-Train on Wed Dec 12 19:49:07 2012. the MTA never wanted to open them,period..they planned on chalking it up as a lost..use the space office and layups.. the 63rd st tunnel had structural problems from pumps not working..with more than 6 feet of water in them...to a load bearing girder near 1st avenue that was set too low to allow trains to pass under..to the line dead ending at 41st and Norther Blvd... the planned Northern Blvd station..planned as a interm terminal until the Crosstown route to Woodside station was finished..then the rest to Continental lower level was never built due to indecision..cost overruns..and NIMBY attacks. the Archer line was started along with the SAS in 1972,then stopped for three or so years..contributing to the delays..plus the political wranglings..PLUS MORE haggling with the LIRR over track age/row rights..the southern/eastern extension of both levels were deferred. |
