Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Thu Oct 5 12:26:18 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. It happened slowly, over time. The first stations with flourescents were Euclid, Shepherd, Van Siclen and Liberty Aves. on the A line, which had them from the very beginning in 1948. The last 2 stations to have their platform incandescents replaced were Church Ave and Ft. Hamilton Parkway on the F, in 1987. It was a 4 decade process. Many stations still had incandescents into the 1980's. Many stations on Fulton St, including most local stations, as well as stations east of Continental Ave on the Queens IND. |
