Posted by andy on Thu Oct 5 06:01:24 2006, in response to When did the switch from incandescent to flourescent lighting occur in the NYC subway?, posted by El-Train on Thu Oct 5 05:10:49 2006. The first stations to have flourescent lights installed new were the A train extension from Rockaway Ave. to Euclid Ave. that opened late in 1948. Beginning in the mid-1950s older stations were retrofitted, often as part of larger projects to renew and rehab entire lines. Good example is the #1 line, which in 1958-59 received a major overhaul of all stations between 42nd Street and 96th Street. |
