Posted by Andy on Fri Sep 10 18:59:49 2010, in response to Re: 9/10/77, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Fri Sep 10 18:41:54 2010. The Bronx Third Ave. El between 149th and Fordham was still a 19th century structure, that had a third track added in 1915. The only real Dual Contracts construction was the stretch between Fordham and Gun Hill, opened in 1920. The R12s that ran on the El in its last years were only four car trains and were restricted to maybe 20 mph. A typical ten car subway train could not have run on the Third Ave. El (platforms were probably too short also). |
