Posted by Randyo on Thu Oct 21 16:38:59 2010, in response to Re: LIRR Rockaway Branch extension from the Queens IND line, posted by TUNNELRAT on Thu Oct 21 11:45:34 2010. I missed your post, but made reference to the status of the 63 Dr bellmouths and the tunnels behind the false wall in my post. I would tend to think that there may have been an interlocking machine installed in what was to be the tower room. Otherwise, unless there was a hand throw switch at that location, how would a train be laid up there? As an aside, there are spare levers on the Roosevelt Av board which were intended for the interlocking controlling the switches to the Winfield Cutoff and the switches, signals, trackways along with their associated switch and signal numbers are actually on the model board although painted over. If you look at the board in a certain light, you can easily see them. It is also known, that the SB ramp to/from the upper level had rail at one time and that track was used for layups when Roosevelt was the terminal. The present (if it hasn't been removed and replaced by new signaling) automatic signal D1-1415 N/O Roosevelt on the S/B lcl tk is actually a home signal with the lower lenses covered over by blanking plates like the kind used to cover over unused signal lenses on signals that don't display the full 3 aspects. |
