I think the M line stations got them when the el and stations were last painted in the 70's. The el and stations were painted around 1977 or 1978 (and wasn't painted again until 1990 BTW). Anyway, that's when I think I remember the new boot coming in. That's also around the time they abandoned south mezzanine at Forest Ave. I used the abandoned mezzanine when I was a kid, but it was closed soon after, probably around 1978.One day, when I was in high school, the old abandoned mezzaine was unlocked and open from the platform, and I went down the stairway and into the old mezzaine. It was like walking into the Twilight Zone. It was just like they closed the doors and forgot about it. It was dusty and dirty, a few random grafitti tags (but nothing like the complete graffiti coverage the rest of the in use parts of the station had in the 80's), and the old wooden token booth was still there. Even old billboards were on the wall. I can't recall if the turnstiles were still there, I think they were gone. Speaking of old turnstiles, I remember when Myrtle-Wyckoff still had the old wooden spinning style ones. They lasted I believe into the early 90's! |
