UlmerPark B6 Posted November 11, 2008 Share #4 Posted November 11, 2008 But it is a slant and The does not use R40 slants neither did the . Since they might have used extra trains, they must have came form CIY where the R40s come from. The description on the photo is: #4238 MTA-NYC Subway Brighton Beach Av Elevated in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn on a "extended N line". Must have been a sign mistake.

That looks more like Brighton after Ocean Parkway en route to West 8th. The local tracks merge with the expresses. And also, there is a vestige on the local track that leads to the abandoned lower level trackways that go straight to the Culver connection. It was used by Brighton trains for a while in the 20's.

MTR Admiralty Posted November 11, 2008 Share #8 Posted November 11, 2008 Looks like the trackage leading up to brighton beach. - A Doesn't look like it. These buildings belong around on Surf Avenue. And plus north of Brighton Beach, you have a curve. South of Brighton, the tracks are all level. South of Ocean Parkway, after a few hundred feet, the locals merge with the expresses and the "expresses" ascend to the top while the former trackway that is not removed runs to level with the Culver. I saw it myself last year when I had to walk from Brighton Beach all the way to Coney Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's clearly obvious the locals do not merge with the expresses there. Brighton Beach is a dual island platform station, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted November 11, 2008 Share #12 Posted November 11, 2008 Shrug. :cool: - A The curve in R160 8717's picture, I believe, is the Culver structure based on this map. The Culver's two tracks come in line to the Brighton line's former lower level. The lower level trackways do not carry any track. The local track merges with the express track here.

From the patterns i've seen so far it looks like they are moving everything around to make room for the NTT deliveries. will be the last holdout before EOL for R40/R40a. R40m could see as much as another year as R32's leave more & more. The R40m's are in -ok- shape for cars their age, and are likely going to outlast the R32 and R38. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
