When the Brighton roadbed was completely rehab's in the mid 1980's, some station platforms were lower than the car floor. NYCT went in and retrofitted some of the platform sections with plywood to raise the grade of the platform to match the car body floor. In most cases the sections of platform that recived this treatment seemed to be those platforms that were extended either to accommodate longer BMT era trains, or when the platforms were extended to 600' for the BMT/IND merger in the mid 1960's. Witnessed on a daily basis at both the Neck road, and Avenue U stations. |
