And the station was also reconfigured to accommodate the IND. As I mentioned a few weeks back when we were discussing the never-used El built on Delancey Street, I've personally noticed stairways at the Eastern ends of the Essex Street stations. |

By "reconfigured" for the IND, I'm referring to passenger ingress and egress. I realize the track configuration is the same (except for the Chrystie connection) as was done in 1913-ish.. |

A good friend of mine could ONLY afford to live there in 1960s-70s. Now he also can't afford to move back, lol.I was working in the area last summer and fall, so naturally I took a walk. When I spotted the gourmet olive oil store (that's all they sell) on the south side of Broadway, somewhere west of Driggs, I knew I was out of my league!! |

They may have been leftover items from the switches that were at the west end of the station before they were moved to their present location. |

When you are right, Larry, you are right! What I do find to be strange is why shuttle service was not restored on the B'way Ferry spur, if this ferry service did indeed last from 1921-1931. I realize that they rebuilt the Broadway el with express track for nassau St service. |

Based on the consensus here, I got this one wrong. My "memory" dates from 25 years ago, and the stub is so short, and I saw the Myrtle stub the same day.Guess I got confused... |

Steve: You do realize that this is a two year old post. Like yourself the roots of the BMT go back to ancient time. You were probably too busy fighting the battle to check up on the BMT. BTW which side were you on?Larry, RedbirdR33 |
