Posted by randyo on Sun Feb 14 05:39:01 2010, in response to Re: Question About The (8) Third Avenue El, posted by Newkirk Images on Sat Feb 13 21:41:11 2010. According to the now out of print "New Subways for New York," which was a reprint of a NYS PSC report from I believe 1913, the el structure S/O Ave X was to have been built from sections of the former ENY Yd even though some sources claim it was from the Fulton St El. In any event, it was built to withstand the weight of the BMT steels of the day. That still had no bearing on the Culver shuttle portion of the structure which was built to dual contract standards from the beginning. |
