Posted by Mitch45 on Thu Oct 5 08:08:56 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. Hard to say when the entire system went over to fluorescents.My old home station, Union Turnpike on the QB IND line had yellow bulbs until the middle of 1985, despite the fact that the other express stations west of Union Turnpike (71-Continental, Roosevelt, Queens Plaza) went fluorescent in the 1960's. There are still some mezzanines aroud that still have yellow bulbs. 14th Street on the West Side IRT still has a lot of them. Only the turnstile area has fluorescent lights. I'll bet the lesser used stations, like Bowery on the BMT and Vernon-Jackson and Hunter's Point Avenue on the IRT still have bulbs in the mezzanines. |
