Posted by randyo on Thu Jan 31 17:54:23 2008, in response to Re: Nassau Street Loop, posted by SLRT on Thu Jan 31 01:17:34 2008. Thanks. That's very interesting. It looks like the 3 Av subway was proposed even before the BRT built its original Centre St Line. Another poster mentions that there seems to be a space for a 4 track subway at one end of Bowery station. That may be a remnant of the original plans and also may explain why the there is the provision for connection to a 3 Av subway coming off the Manny B that I mentioned in my post. The only question that remains is that at the time its construction was proposd, which company would have operated it? More than likely it would have been the IRT since the BRT did not yet have a subway in Manhattan. Its only Manhattan trackage at the time was Park Row terminal. Of course, after the Centre St line and the Manny B trackage were built, it would probably have been assigned to the BRT. |
