Actually, Bway/ENY was the last station on Fulton St not to have fluourescent lights as original equipment and along with Church Av on the F Line was one of the last stations to receive them. Some of the posts make reference to the elevated stations. The elevated stations were among the last to receive fluorescents and many of them had incandescent bulbs at the uncovered portions even after the portions under the canopies received fluorescents. Some open air stations received sodium or mercury vapor lights on the uncovered portions but unfortunately many of them gave off less light than the incandescents they replaced. |
