Posted by Randyo on Wed Aug 25 12:43:21 2010, in response to Re: [OLDE PHOTO] Culver Line Before IND Invasion, posted by GIS Man on Wed Aug 25 10:33:55 2010. According to retires Trainmaster M. R. Deckinger, although N/B Brighton trains could bypass Dekalb, the S/B bypass track was disconnected sometime in the late 1930s so that S/B Brighton trains had to stop there. Culver Expresses and Bankers' Specials operating via the tunnel could also use the bypass via switches in both directions N/O the station. Although presently under the IND/BMT signal system, a home signal indicating a 3rd route displays 3 yellows, the home signal on the S/B tunnel track N/O Dekalb displayed a bottom blue for tunnel trains routes into the bypass AFAIK the only such signal display anywhere on the NYCTS. |
