True, since the crews were probably based what eventually became the Eastern Division. By the way, According to some of the old time BMT towermen I worked with, all the elevated towers in downtown Bkln which would include Sands St, Bridge Yd, Adams St cut and Park Row in Manhattan were considered Eastern Division towers even though they handled trains of both the Eastern and Southern Divisions. Navy St on the Myrtle El which separated 5 Av and Myrtle trains was also an Eastern tower. In the subway portion of the BMT, Broad St was also considered an Eastern tower even though tks R1 and R2 tracks south of Chambers St were numbered as and considered to be Southern Division tracks which accounts for the tk numbering change at the physical south end of Chambers St. All trains arriving Chambers St via either the Willy B or the Manny B were railroad north and despite the fact that the tracks between Chambers and the Nassau Cut ere Southern Div tracks, the train interval sheets at Broad St showed all trains arriving from the direction of Chambers St as “northbound” including the Culver and West End trains which were actually southbound. Why Broad St tower was assigned to the Eastern, I could’t figure out since not only was it actually in the Southern Division but prior to the installation of City Hall master tower the switches in the Nassau Cut separating the Bway and Nassau St services were controlled by Broad St tower. |
