Nassau Street Loop |

Posted by geoffc on Sun Jan 27 11:38:00 2008 I am new to the region, and am quite enjoying the region, the subways, and this forum! I have the track map book (V4.1) and it is a great resource.I actually tried to print out the NJT, MNRR, LIRR track maps on a plotter at work, and even at 5 feet by 4 feet there is not enough resolution to read the station names, let alone see the track layouts. Oh well. Going to try stripping across two passes, so that would be 8 feet wide and 5 feet long. Maybe that will be more readable. (The Paris one came out beautifully at that res though!). With that preamble, I need to ask a silly question. What was the LOOP part of the Nassau Street Loop? I am still learning all the street names, so naming a street does not help me a lot. I look at it, and think, ok, something across the Manhattan Bridge (Since it was the servering of this link that ended the loop part of the route), to the Nassau st subway (J/M/Z in lower Manhattan today) and then where? Why was it called a loop, and where did it do the loop part? I hear loop and imagine a turning loop like City Hall on the 6, or South Ferry on the 1 (or 5/6 via the inner loop). But I am guessing that the loop meant here is different. Anyone have a map showing the original layout? Or anyone with free time willing to draw it on a Google Map? |
