Posted by Elkeeper on Fri Nov 25 16:25:36 2016, in response to Re: List of New York City Subway Bellmouths and provisions, posted by Elkeeper on Fri Nov 25 13:32:59 2016. Another one: "There are bellmouths just west of the Liberty Ave station". The turnouts were to continue part of the route east under Jamaica Ave, but had nothing to do with a Jamaica Ave subway or a connection to the el. The Brooklyn Eagle article that I read had 2 tracks going under Jamaica Ave, Ridgewood Ave, Force Tube Ave, and Conduit Ave to the LIRR Rockaway Line. By the way, the other tracks were to have made a diagonal under private property from Jamaica/Pennsylvania Aves to New Jersey/Liberty Aves. From there, that line would have continued under Liberty Ave (and not Pitkin!) to connect with the Liberty Ave extension of the Fulton St el. Sometime in the early 1930's the routes were consolidated into the present 4 track line under Pennsylvania and Pitkin Aves. |
