What I dont get is those Q's shown had their intact high roof. When they were sent to the mainland they were able to fit thru the 60th st tunnel. I'll guess that they would be off to Coney Island to get prepared for their next assignment. My question is if they could fit in BMT tunnels, why did they have to have their rooves shaved when they were on the Myrtle? |

Circa 1960, the Dekalb Ave area was realigned and switches relocated. As part of the project, new signals were installed requiring new electrical cable to connect to the new Dekalb master tower. Prior to the new signaling, there was no problem with the original height of the Qs or other BMT el cars. |

IIRC, It was a IRT/BMT shuttle that ran from Main St to QBP, then up to Astoria and back to QBP and Main St. That ran until 1949 when BMT trains from the 60st tunnel went up to Astoria after those platforms to Ditmars got a B division shave to allow 10 ft wide cars to run there.This resulted in the complete abandonment of the north side of QBP and its eventual dismantling |
