Re: Fulton Street Subway

Posted by William A. Padron on Sat Apr 29 10:20:31 2023, in response to Fulton Street Subway, posted by Q65A on Sat Apr 29 09:42:41 2023.

And it was on this date of Sunday, April 29, 1956 (67 years ago), the IND Fulton Street subway line was extended onto the former BMT elevated line above Liberty Avenue through Ozone Park and towards Lefferts Boulevard in Richmond Hill. The new Grant Avenue station bridging the connection between the two routes was opened as an immediate point along the line, first served by the R-10's on the "A".

Oddly, that section of the route east of Euclid Avenue uses the BMT's "K" route chaining numbered system on their signal heads, but the station agent booths are assigned in the IND N-100's series numbered format. The 24-hour booth at Lefferts Boulevard is N-141.
