I,ve posted on this before.the reason the station was built to IND specs.is because in 1937 the lirr wanted to abandon all service west of Jamaica and sell it to the city for conversion for subway use.this is from a 1937 long island press report on the subject.the atlantic branch was supposed to connect to the A train in the vicinity of lafayette ave.this was told to me by old time BOT/t.a.workers around 1964. |

It would have made sence to keep the Fulton El running, forgo the Fulton Subway, use that money somewhere else for subway where there was no service, and use the LIRR atlantic branch for subway service. |

The problem with keeping the entire Fulton St el running was that most of the structure was unable to hold heavyweight steel cars. Only the portions between Nostrand Av and Hinsdale St and Grant Av to Lefferts were strong enough for steel cars, one part having been rebuilt and the outer portion being entirely new dual contract construction. Although it might have been cheaper in the long run to rebuild the entire length of the Fulton El to dual contract specs, the mindset of the city at the time was to build as few el structures as possible and build subways, so the more desirable alternative was to replace what many downtown Bkln merchants felt was an eyesore over Fulton St. |

I don’t exactly think that was the reason that Woodhaven Blvd was tiled IND style. Since it was the city building that portion of the LIRR, it was merely state of the art of subway station ornamentation to tile stations in that manner. That is the same reason that 14/8, Fulton and Broad Sts were tiled IND style. The city built those stations and since they were contemporary with the IND that was the type of tiling that was state of the art for NYC subway construction at the time. |

Yes....I have read that too. That's also why when woodhaven and ozone park were rebuilt they were built with substantial concrete stations in anticipation of potential conversion. parkside and Brooklyn manor were never rebuilt from wood. |

It was rebuilt from just east of Franklin to Atlantic....and then as you said, east of grant. It's too bad they couldn't somehow incorporate that section into an Atlantic subway using the LIRR. Using the cranberry tube and a subway connection to Flatbush Ave....and a connection around Franklin to the LIRR from the rebuilt portion of the Fulton El to Atlantic. If this was subway.....the Rockaway line also connecting to this subway at woodhaven. It seems like such a waste.....perfectly good rebuilt dual contract structure (built identically to the Broadway el, used for just about 20 years. Such a waste. |
