I have seen this bellmouth provision from the front window, but you have to look quickly - it goes by pretty fast.Below is a brief sentence (partial one actually) that mentions this turning loop, from David Rogoff's brochure for the B-Type (2390-91-92) fan trip on Oct. 16, 1965: "We ... pass through Dekalb Ave. station and the remains of Myrtle Ave. station[*] and by a pocket in the north wall for the initial turnout leg of the proposed underground turning loop ... " IIRC, he also cites this structural provision for the loop in a NY Div. bulletin article on abandoned/unused sections of the BMT - I have this issue packed away but accessible in my storage unit. I will see about "digging it out" (maybe Sunday evening after work) and post whatever I am able to find that Rogoff wrote about it. [*northbound platform] - my addition, not in original text |
