We are lucky to have what we have! In May, 1933, during the height of the Depression, funding for the IND Fulton subway ran out. When it finally opened to Rockaway Ave in 1936 it was almost 2 years beyond it's projected opening date. Had the City not bought out the IRT, MER, and the BMT in the 1940 Unification, there would have been money available for some Second System projects. |
