The Flushing Line was built like the Astoria Line to clear 10 ft wide cars.It was. Unfortunately, concrete replacement of the wooden platforms did not include the Dual Contracts 6" metal plate that would make conversion easy. Even worse, replacement of the concrete platforms at Queensboro Plaza, 103rd, Willets Pt and Main St did not include the 6" metal plate. I think 111th is the only station that still has the 6" metal plate. This means that conversion to accommodate 10' wide cars would be a lot more difficult and costly. |
