Posted by randyo on Sun Aug 11 15:37:20 2013, in response to Re: Seinfeld Subway Episode, posted by SelkirkTMO on Sun Aug 11 03:58:22 2013. The mainline of the Pitkin Av subway rises above A5 and A6 yd leads and shortly S/O that point K1 and K2 separate from the mainline and the mainline tracks drop down to allow K1 and K2 to pass over them. Since the mainline is very low at that point, A7 and A8 yd leads would come down and join the mainline from above just N/O 76 St. According to my original source, it was A1 track that extended into the station shell and as it exists now, the bulkhead S/O Euclid is irregular and does not extend straight across but rather, zigs so that the portion of the bulkhead at the end of A1 tk causes that track to be shorter than the other 3 tracks. On occasions when trains had to be laid up there, a full 600 ft train could not fit and clear the switch going from A1 to K1 so it was seldom if ever used. |
