Posted by sloth on Sat Apr 24 23:01:27 2010, in response to Re: Evergreen Branch as Seen from El, posted by jan k. lorenzen on Sat Apr 24 15:09:30 2010. Jan, thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!Also plate 30 has the location of the english kills crossing. Far as I can tell, comparing 1880 to 2010-- The Evergreen leaves the waterfront on North 15th, continues across McCarren in a straight line to the intersection of Leonard & Bayard. The building on the SE corner has a diagonal wall. ROW next appears at Manhattan Ave between Richardson & Frost, crosses Frost just W of Debevoise Ave, and begins to curve SE, crossing Morgan Ave a little S of Withers St. The RR then crosses Vandevoort just S of Rewe Street. Looks like no trace at all remains in this area. The western leg of the triangle at the intersection of Metropolitan & Grand might be the ROW. A lot of strange angles here but none that seem to fit. Then it crossed English Kills at the end of Maujer St (now demapped E of Morgan). Resuming on the other side of English Kills, the bend in Meadow Street could be where the ROW was. The angled building on Scholes Street now seems out of the line-- too far west-- and it rejoins the longer-lived part of the ROW at the corner of Randolph St & Varick Ave. Interestingly also, the Bushwick Branch ROW is mapped as Montrose Avenue. |
