Re: [PHOTOS:] PITKIN AVE-- PROFF?? (Was - Re: Fulton Street Subway)

As I have alluded to, when George Abere and I first went in there in late 1962, the cinder block walls were not there yet, the yd lead tunnels ended in mounds of earth and the rails and home signals that had been used to protect the switches that had been recently removed were still there and the signals illuminated and fully functioning. When we returned there in 1983 when we were trainmasters the rails were gone, the signal although still in place were dark and the cinder block walls had been erected. Unfortunately I didn’t really pay attention to how far we walked in in 1962 so I can’t say for sure if the cinder block walls were put up right where the mounds of earth were or if the erection of the walls shortened the tunnels any.
