Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Fri Oct 6 20:48:37 2006, in response to Re: When did the switch from incandescent to flourescent lighting occur in the NYC subway?, posted by El-Train on Thu Oct 5 07:15:33 2006. find it strange that the #1 stations north of 96th St got platform extensions first, in the form of almost-uniform IND-style tilework and extensions that barely clashed with the original station.The lower end of the Lexington line, south of Union Square, also got one side extended (in that fancy IND style tile) in the 1930s, and in the 1950's got the other side extensions in the same ugly style as the Northernn 1 line, except instead of beige got hideous green,m totally clashing with the Contract One portions of the stations. Spring and Bleecker still has that:  As for the lighting on the 1 line, I could almost swear that the stations south of 96th, but north of 42nd all had just incandescent lighting only as late as 1986 or 1987. I remember riding through up there around 1986 or 1987 or so and thought I remember the stations there being dim. |
