Posted by Randyo on Sun Dec 29 16:02:57 2013, in response to Re: Map Question, posted by AlM on Sun Dec 29 09:53:29 2013. "Normal" IND station spacing is 1/2 mile, but there are several locations on the iND where stations are closer together such as 168 to 163, 86 to 81, both 5 blocks and 110 to 116 Sts and 175 to 181, 6 blocks. Sometimes the importance of a particular street or the presence of a certain tourist attraction may mandate a station be place at a non standard location. The distance between Jay St and Hoyt is also relatively short, but the mergers of the various IND lines pretty much determined the locations of those stations. Also given the fact that R-1s as delivered had a destination sign reading for "Houston/Essex" seems to lend credence to the location of the next station along Houston St as being Essex St or at least named for it. |
