Not sure about that one but there was an odd feature about that station. The original tower that controlled the diamond Xover N/O Lex Ave/53 was at the N/E of the platform. Till the old signaling was replaced, the model board was still in the tower room even though the interlocking machine had been removed. When I wen tin there one afternoon, I saw the model board and it was missing2 thins. One was the station at 23/Ely which it is known did lot open till several years after the line opened and the other was the diamond Xover S/O the station which I wasn’t aware was not there when the line first opened either. For some reason, when the 5 Av/53 station was built there was no provision for a tower at that station so when the 6 Av Line opened a steel tower was constructed at the S/E of the S/B platform and you could still see the original tile wall inside the tower. Why the IND didn’t build a tower room at that station in anticipation of a 6 Ave lone I don’t know. I don’t know where the original interlocking machine from Lex went to either. |
