Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sat Oct 7 13:09:31 2006, in response to Re: When did the switch from incandescent to flourescent lighting occur in the NYC subway?, posted by Dan on Sat Oct 7 11:54:29 2006. Two stations (Fort Hamilton, Church) remained incandescant until September 1987. The other underground stations got flourescents much earlier (before mid 1985). Those 2 stations were the last 2 underground stations to receive incandescents at platform level. I remember seeing kids systematically breaking the incandescents on the southbound platform of Church Ave. one day in 1986, making the whole station dangerously dark. |
