Since it's an island station, the only way to remove and replace those tiles would be to close the station for a period in at least one direction for access. Such a reroute would impact the and since service would have to run via 53rd Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never did that for 23rd St. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stopped for downtown ONLY because there is a punchbox for the lineup. Operators MUST punch in for the lineup to proceed out of the station. Otherwise, dispatchers wouldn't know which position the switch shld be in. The goes right onto the track after 57th Street. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GojiMet86 Posted December 28, 2018 Share #618 Posted December 28, 2018 http://dutchkillscivic.com/history/ Quote In 1642, licenses were granted to some Dutch citizens to settle in Queens. “Kill” is a Dutch word meaning “little stream.” Since Dutch men settled around the “Kill,” (in Long Island City) the name Dutch Kills was adopted. The “Kill” (or stream) is a tributary of Newtown Creek, which divides Queens from Brooklyn. During the Revolutionary War, British troops were billeted in a series of farmhouses on 39th Avenue (Beebe Avenue). These houses stood until 1903 when they were torn down to make way for the railroad. In the early 1900’s the Queensborough Bridge was opened. Proximity to Manhattan, presence of railroads, and Long Island all contributed to the importance of Dutch Kills. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ of JGD Posted December 28, 2018 Share #620 Posted December 28, 2018 I mean, it says it on the station signs when you pass it. Someone on Instagram saw it. Can't recall the name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's way past due to remove the Beebe name - that was officially changed to 39th Ave. a hundred years ago, for God's sake! But Dutch Kills? Does anyone around there call it that? It must be a hipster thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not made up, but it's interesting that at least one of the historical maps shown on that Association's website shows Dutch Kills as being south of present-day Queens Plaza, while the Association covers an area exclusively north of QP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
