The J's Fulton St segment was a very similar structure, and it's still here, and running IND equipment. If the Myrtle had survived, it would probably look something like Alabama Ave to Crescent St looks like today, which stations were rebuilt in the 1980's. It probably would have had to have been anyway at some point unless it could get away with using IRT-sized cars In the late 60's, there was an R34 car (I think that's the number) that was designed, and it would have been an IRT like twin to the R32, and was supposed to run on the Myrtle El, and the 3rd Ave el in the Bronx. But unfortunately, it never came to pass. As said before, if it were up to me, I'd be looking at completely rebuilding the old structure and have it connect either at Metrotech or Court Street (after the Navy Street stop) with the Montauge Street line Never would happen. Great idea, and if it still was there, entirely possible, but once an el is gone, no way it will ever be rebuilt, the community outrage would be something like you never saw before. |
