I don't understand how TA and LIRR trains could share the station at Mott since the original LIRR station was across Mott Av from the NYCTA station and was 2 outside platforms as opposed to the NYCTA island platform. When the NYCTA took over the operations in the Rockaways, the structure was truncated on the west side of Mott Ave. The switches were strictly NYCTA construction and the N/B track had to be moved to allow for the construction of the island platform. The tracks were in place when the NYCTA started operating to Wavecrest but eh platform wasn't passenger ready till later. |
