The trackage and structures at and near Queensboro Plaza ooze
with history. Once
upon a time there were three choices to Manhattan from here: tunnels for
the IRT and BMT, and service over the Queensboro Bridge that led into
Manhattan's 2nd Avenue El. IRT and BMT trains jointly served
Queens destinations on the Astoria and Flushing lines. Bridge
service ended more than half a century ago, and things have been tidied up on
the infrastructure around here; but evidence of ghost connections to the past still
exist. |
