Posted by Handbrake on Sun May 7 17:21:42 2023, in response to Re: [PHOTOS:] PITKIN AVE-- PROFF?? (Was - Re: Fulton Street Subway), posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue May 2 08:48:40 2023. Connection to the BMT Liberty avenue line was part of a 1939 NYC BoT plan to recapture the post 1911 elevated extension. The present civil construction fly over to Grant Avenue was on K1/K2 track ramps was performed when the present subway was built.Visible construction of the two ramps do not indicate add on civil structures. The width of the tunnel area past the last set of K track ramps is wide and continues to a solid concrete and steel wall across all tracks with space between express and local tracks for descent of two yard lead tracks, A7 & A8, from Pitkin. The at grade tunnel turn off just past the Pitkin Yard subway portal of tracks A7 & A8, the tracks with the cinder block temporary wall, were the designed two yard tracks that would have descended down to meet the four track Fulton Street subway just north of 76th Street. Track A7 was designed to a crash bumper block to keep a run away train from merging onto the main line. Track K2 ends in a similar crash bumper, as does B5 track on the north end of 47-50th Street 6th Avenue station. All Fulton Subway construction past Euclid was part of a long range planned, but with the exception to the on the cheap connection to the LIRR RoW to the Rockaway's, was never funded. |
