Lenox Yard [ править ]

Lenox Yard в 1902 году

Ленокс-Ярд , ранее называвшаяся магазинами на Ленокс-авеню, [16] находится недалеко от 148-й улицы и Ленокс-авеню в Гарлеме . Эта 22- дорожная площадка используется только для хранения R62, которые работают на 3-й линии , и не имеет места обслуживания, хотя двор была первой ремонтной мастерской для IRT, когда она открылась вместе с остальной частью нового метро в 1904 году. [5] [17] Оригинальные вагоны метро IRT были спущены с улицы по склону во двор, где они продолжили движение по главной магистрали Вест-Сайд . [18] В 1910 финансовом году смотровая площадка была увеличена для размещения десятивагонных поездов. [10]9 сентября 1958 года Управление транзита объявило, что планирует отказаться от магазинов на Ленокс-авеню. К июню 1959 года весь ремонт IRT и IND будет произведен в магазинах на 207-й улице. По оценке TA, это приведет к экономии в размере 1 миллиона долларов в год. [19] Ранее проходивший между 147-й и 150-й улицами, в 1960-х годах двор был уменьшен с 26 акров до семи акров, в результате чего были ликвидированы ремонтные мастерские и офисы NYCT. Земля продана застройщику. [20] [21] Примерно в то же время здание государственной школы (в настоящее время вмещает Академию Фредерика Дугласа ) и жилой комплекс Esplanade Gardens были построены на пилотском участке над бывшим открытым двором. [17] [20]Два пути были взяты со двора станции Harlem – 148th Street , которая открылась в 1968 году как нынешний северный терминал для 3. [20] [22] [23] [24]

Ливония Двор [ править ]

Северо-западный конец Ливонского двора

Ливония двор расположен в 900 Hegeman авеню в Ист - Нью - Йорке, Бруклин на полностью приподнятую структуру на восточном конце Количества линии IRT Новой . Расположенный между улицами Элтон и Линвуд, двор простирается от Хегеман-авеню на юг до Стэнли-авеню, проходя через Линден-бульвар . Один из самых маленьких ярдов обслуживания в системе, где R62s на 3 и R62As на 42 - й улице челнока осмотрены и поддерживаются. [22]

Верфь, построенная в 1922 году и открытая в 1923 году, состоит из 4 инспекционных путей внутри магазина Livonia и 15 путей простоя. [22] Сигнальная башня находится в северо-западном углу двора. Многие 3 поезда хранятся на складе Lenox Yard в Верхнем Манхэттене , поскольку Ливония не очень большая. [22] [6]

Ливония, наряду с двором на 240-й улице, занимают полностью надземные конструкции и нуждаются в ремонте из-за несоответствия стандартам конфигурации для «текущих отраслевых практик». [1] [2] Продление линии New Lots Line было предложено до конца двора или через полосу отчуждения двора до Флэтлендс-авеню , чтобы обслуживать развивающийся район Спринг-Крик . [22] [25] [26]

Кроме того, большое количество места в Ливонии используется для хранения некоторых R142 и R142A для поездов 2 , 4 и 5 .

[13] [27] Он назван в честь Юнионпорт-роуд, которая находится к востоку от двора. На этом дворе нет магазина или прачечной, который в 1990-х годах был расширен с пяти путей до нынешних 19. Все пути, кроме одной, заканчиваются у бамперов. Недавно расширенная верфь была полностью введена в эксплуатацию в 1997 году. Верфь соединяется с линией IRT White Plains Road Line на юге и IRT Dyre Avenue Line на севере. [6]

Двор West Farms (снесен) [ править ]

West Farms Двор был повышенный железнодорожный двор , который был разрушен в 1952 году вместе с резервированной 180 - й стрит-Бронкс Парк станции. [28] Он обслуживал поезда 2 и 5 служб.

Вестчестер-Ярд [ править ]

Вестчестер двор , также известный как Pelham Yard, находится в Бронксе и имеет 45 дорожек простоя. Двор поддерживает и хранит R62As используемые на 6 , а также техническое обслуживание на пути дизельных поездов для обоих A Отдела и Отдела B . Он связан с линией IRT Pelham в обоих направлениях между станциями Westchester Square – East Tremont Avenue и Middletown Road . [6]

Имеется четырехпутная смотровая площадка для электропоездов и двухпутная мастерская по ремонту дизелей. [29] Pelham Yard также имеет автомойку, используемую всем A Division. [6]

Вестчестерский двор был расширен между 1946 и 1949 годами, и объем проекта включал новую сигнальную вышку, сигнальные сооружения и ликвидацию переездов между двором и линией Пелхэма к северу от станции Вестчестер-сквер. Все эти проекты позволят ускорить движение магистральных линий и движение поездов на станцию ​​и выезд из нее. Разделение уровней позволяло поездам заходить на Вестчестер-Ярд, не пересекая экспресс-колею или местную колею в центре города, и это давало возможность продлить экспресс-сообщение до парка Пелхэм-Бэй , что сэкономило бы еще четыре минуты. [30]Увеличенная вместимость двора позволила разместить еще 358 вагонов метро. Благодаря дополнительному складскому помещению больше не потребуется ставить поезда на среднем пути линии между Восточной 177-й улицей и парком Пелхэм-Бэй, и это позволит обеспечить экспресс-доставку на целый день. Строительство подстанций улучшит условия напряжения и позволит эксплуатировать на линии более длинные поезда. Планировалось, что работа будет стоить 6 387 000 долларов и будет завершена в 1950 году [31].

[6] Эта верфь может вместить только четыре десятивагонных 60-футовых поезда и один четырехвагонный 60-футовый поезд из пяти путей. Северный конец двора упирается в бетонную стену и стену из шлакоблоков, прилегающую к Трансманхэттенской скоростной автомагистрали., поскольку изначально предполагалось, что эта линия будет проходить через нижний уровень моста Джорджа Вашингтона как часть возможного расширения до Форт-Ли, штат Нью-Джерси.

Coney Island Complex[edit]

Coney Island Complex
Inside view into a workshop

The Coney Island Rapid Transit Car Overhaul Shop, often shortened to Coney Island Complex, is the largest rapid transit yard in the state of New York, and one of the largest in North America.[22] Located in Brooklyn, New York, it covers 74 acres (300,000 m2) and operates 24/7.[22] The complex was built in 1926 on former marshlands that, along with Coney Island Creek, used to separate Coney Island from the main body of Brooklyn.[22] Much of this land had originally been proposed for use as a ship canal and port facility.

A car washing machine was installed in the yard at the end of 1964.[40]

Regular scheduled maintenance is performed here for a fleet of nearly 800 cars of R46s, R68s, R68As, and some R160s serving the B, G, N, Q, W, and Franklin Avenue Shuttle, and R68s on the D maintained here as well. The shop facility, along with the 207th Street Shops, performs inspection, heavy maintenance and overhaul for every one of the approximately 6,000 cars in the subway system, including the Staten Island Railway, and also contains car washing and painting facilities.[22]

In addition to heavy maintenance facilities and track facilities for cars undergoing maintenance and overhaul, the complex includes three related railroad storage yards.[22] The main yard facility, known as Coney Island Yard, includes direct connections to the adjacent BMT Sea Beach Line (N and ​W trains) and a two-track elevated structure to the BMT West End Line (D train). The main yard also serves trains on the BMT Brighton Line (B and ​Q trains) via tracks C & D (also known as 3 & 4, respectively) of Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue station. The adjacent but separate Culver Yard (also called City Yard or Avenue X Yard) connects to the IND Culver Line (F and <F>​ trains) at the eastern border of the yard complex, holding cars for the F service. Another yard, the Stillwell Yard, used mainly for off-peak train storage, is located across the Sea Beach Line from the main yard complex in a "V" between the divergent Sea Beach and West End Lines.

In addition to the maintenance shop and yards, there is a Health Center (gym) and medical center for Transit Authority employees, a firing range for the New York City Police Department (NYPD)'s Transit Division, and a firefighting training school.[22] The range was originally built for the New York City Transit Police Department, which was merged with the NYPD in 1995.

East New York Yard[edit]

East New York Yard in 2017

East New York Yard (also known as DO (District Office) Yard from its telegraphy letters) is primarily used to store the R143s, R160s, and R179s assigned to the J, L, M, and Z. Subway equipment is inspected and maintained here on a regular basis.[22][44][45]

It is located at the junction of the Canarsie and Jamaica Lines near the intersection of Broadway and Jamaica Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn. A separate part of the facility houses the East New York Bus Depot, formerly a trolley depot.[22][44] The yard is entirely equipped with hand-operated switches. Only the Fresh Pond Yard and 36th–38th Street Yard share this characteristic.

Portions of the yard date back to 1885 and the Lexington Avenue Elevated and the yard predates the rebuilding of nearby Broadway Junction, which used to be known as Manhattan Junction or East New York Loop.[22] This yard's layup tracks are situated on 2 different levels, just like 239th Street Yard.

The yard and its main lead configuration remained the same before and after the extensive elevated line rebuilding nearby, but additional track and structure was built, so that, at its peak, East New York Yard had direct connections to the Broadway Elevated going west, Jamaica Line going east, Canarsie Line going east, and Fulton Street Elevated both east and west.[6]

Fresh Pond Yard[edit]

The Fresh Pond Yard in Glendale, Queens is located to the back of the Fresh Pond Bus Depot, which was formerly a trolley depot.[46] Opened with an extension of the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line in 1906,[46] it is normally used for storing the R160As that run on the M. General maintenance of the cars is performed at East New York Yard. It is located between Fresh Pond Road and Middle Village–Metropolitan Avenue on the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line, but it is only accessible from the latter station. Trains must first platform there and then reverse into the yard. The yard is entirely equipped with hand-operated switches. Only East New York Yard and 36th–38th Street Yard share this characteristic.

Jamaica Yard, view of R160 and R46, March 2013

Jamaica Yard is located in Forest Hills, Queens at the southern end of Flushing Meadows–Corona Park near the Kew Gardens Interchange. It is the primary storage yard for the IND Queens Boulevard Line since its opening in 1936. The yard connects to the Queens Boulevard Line at a three-way flying junction just geographically north of the Kew Gardens–Union Turnpike station. The yard is at surface level, and the four-track approach includes a bridge over the Grand Central Parkway; though the Queens Boulevard Line is underground, the yard lies at a lower elevation than the subway.[47][48][49] The site upon which the yard sits at the head of the valley of the Flushing River was originally swampland.[50] It would be occupied by British troops after the Battle of Long Island during the American Revolution.[51]

The property on which the yard sits used to belong to the Department of Water Supply, Gas, and Electricity, and it was transferred to the New York City Board of Transportation on April 2, 1930. The property was used as a pumping station, and once the Board of Transportation acquired the property, wells that were abandoned on the property were disturbed. These wells were connected to the water mains serving Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, and part of Flushing. $50,000 was appropriated to replace these water wells and mains by the Board of Estimate.[52] Originally, the yard was intended to be built in the vicinity of South Elmhurst and Rego Park at Grand Street and Queens Boulevard. Once the location near Union Turnpike was decided, the communities of Forest Hills and Kew Gardens objected to it, arguing that the values of their properties would go down and the growth of the communities would end.[53][54] Chairman of the Board of Transportation, John H. Delaney, overruled them, as the yard's location was not near any homes.[55]

The yard was built for the Independent Subway System in the 1930s.[50] Work was half finished on Jamaica Yard in April 1935, and the total cost of Jamaica Yard and storage sheds was approximately $560,000.[56] Jamaica Yard served as the south end of the IND World's Fair Line which served the 1939 New York World's Fair from 1939 to 1940.[57] In August 1964 it was planned that Jamaica Yard have car-washing machines installed in May 1965.[58] The yard currently provides carwash, interior cleaning, grease and minor repair services to the R160s that are assigned to the E, F, and R.[48][59][60][61] Some R160As for the M are stored here as well during weekdays, but are not maintained here, as the M uses shorter, four-car sets maintained at East New York Yard.[6]

There are more subway cars assigned to Jamaica Yard than to any other rapid transit yard in the city. As a result, there is chronic overcrowding at the existing facility. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority plans to enlarge this yard due to this overcrowding; many trains are stored on the IND Queens Boulevard mainline express tracks east of 71st Avenue and the 179th Street station's relay yard during off-peak periods. This expansion will double the storage capacity of the facility.[2][48][62][63][64] The expansion project has been planned since the 1982-1986 MTA Capital Program.[61] The four yard leads will also be equipped with communications-based train control (CBTC) as part of the installation of CBTC on the Queens Boulevard Line.[65]

Pitkin Yard[edit]

Grant Avenue entrance of Pitkin Yard

The Pitkin Yard is located in East New York, Brooklyn. It holds the Pitkin Shops, which maintain the R46s, and R179s used on the A and Rockaway Park Shuttle.

Track connections from the yard connect both railroad north to Euclid Avenue and railroad south past Grant Avenue on the IND Fulton Street Line. This allows trains to be added or removed from service in either direction.[6][57][66]

The site for Pitkin Yard was approved by the Board of Estimate on February 8, 1940 in order to serve the extension of the Fulton Street Line. The total cost for the acquiring the property for the yard was estimated to be $773,000 for 30 acres.[67] The yard opened on November 28, 1948 along with the extension of the IND Fulton Street Line to Euclid Avenue.[57][68] Previously an open-air yard,[31][69] from 1972 to 1973 the Linden Plaza & Towers Apartment Complex, consisting of several 15-to-17-story apartment buildings, was constructed on a concrete deck on top of this yard.[70][71][72]

Rockaway Park Yard[edit]

Eastern end of Rockaway Park Yard

Rockaway Park Yard is located in Rockaway Park, Queens. It is an eight-track layup yard for the R46s and R179 on the A and the Rockaway Park Shuttle, although they are primarily maintained at the Pitkin Yard in Brooklyn. Seven tracks lie geographically north of the station platform, while another lies geographically south.[6]

Western end of Rockaway Park Yard

This yard is adjacent to Rockaway Park–Beach 116th Street. Like the IND Rockaway Line itself, the Rockaway Yard was originally a yard for the Rockaway Beach Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It included a water tower, and a roundhouse.

Yards in both divisions[edit]

207th Street Yard[edit]

View of 207th Street Yard from a nearby building

The 207th Street Yard is located in Inwood in Upper Manhattan between Tenth Avenue and the Harlem River north of the University Heights Bridge. The outdoor yard, which was originally constructed for the B Division, extends north from 207th Street to 215th Street.[73][74] It serves as the home yard for the R179s that are used on the C. There is a car wash here.[6][75][76]

The 207th Street Shop is one of two heavy overhaul shops in the New York City Subway system (the other being the Coney Island Yard in Brooklyn) and it provides for the overhaul and rebuilding of some A Division cars as well as most B Division rolling stock.[75] The yard stores cars that are being retired or awaiting scrapping, and it also restores cars designated for the New York Transit Museum.[76] It also contains a garbage transfer station.[75] Formerly, the retired cars that were stored at the yard were stripped of usable parts such as seats and doors, historic memorabilia such as rollsigns, and toxic materials such as lubricants and asbestos, after which the cars were scrapped or sunk into artificial reefs.[73][77]

South of the yard, connecting tracks lead to the IND Eighth Avenue Line. A separate connecting track and flyover leads to the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line.[6][75]

A major rehabilitation project for the yard took place in 2016.[78]

Added to NRHPFebruary 9, 2006

The Concourse Yard is located in the northern Bronx near the intersection of 205th Street and Jerome Avenue.[79] The yard was built on the old site of the Jerome Park Reservoir. The Reservoir was planned to have two basins, an eastern basin and a western basin. The western basin opened in 1906. The two basins are divided by Goulden Avenue, and land for the eastern basin was cleared and partially excavated in anticipation of construction. The two-basin plan was abandoned in 1912, and the excavated area for the eastern basin was filled and graded. In addition to the building of the subway yard on that site, Lehman College, three high schools, a park, and several public housing developments were also built there.[80] The yard was built at a depressed grade, 18 feet below grade, to allow for the yard to be roofed over to allow for the construction of buildings. The tracks were spaced apart to permit the placing of stable foundations and columns to support buildings that can could be erected atop the proposed roof of the yard. The yard was originally bounded by Navy Avenue (now Paul Avenue), Jerome Avenue, 205th Street, and Bedford Park Boulevard. Provisions were made to extend the yard south to 198th Street.[81]

In the 1960s, the City University of New York planned to build a new campus for Bronx Community College by constructing a deck over the yard. In 1970, ground was broken for the $61 million, 13-acre campus, which was going to rest on 800 columns between the yard tracks. The platform over the yard was expected to be completed in July 1971. The project was abandoned after the City discovered that the pillars were built slightly too short, which would have prevented subway cars from entering and leaving the yard had the project been finished. The possibility of building atop the yard was brought back by Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Junior in 2015. In a report, the yard was found to have great potential for development, allowing for the building of mixed-income housing, retail space, and an expansion of Lehman College. The low-end cost for the construction of the deck is projected to cost between $350 and $500 million.[82]

Concourse Yard maintenance building

This yard is home to the R68s assigned to the D service. Some R68s and R68As assigned to the B are also washed and stored here, but not maintained or inspected here. The R142s and R142As assigned to the 4 are washed and stored here as well. The yard contains three tracks for maintenance, and 36 storage tracks. The yard itself can store 255 cars, and the inspection shed can accommodate 30 cars.[81] The yard also contains a car wash, which also washes cars from the nearby Jerome Yard. Connecting tracks lead north from the yard to the IND Concourse Line and south to the IRT Jerome Avenue Line. Concourse Yard is spanned across its middle by Bedford Park Boulevard West, and at its northern end by a 205th Street viaduct.[79] The Jerome Yard used by the IRT Jerome Avenue Line lies to the north of 205th Street.[6]

Concourse Yard from the southeast

The Concourse Yard Entry Buildings and Concourse Yard Substation were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[41] The former consists of two, three-story brick buildings with only the top story visible from the street that are built next to one another to form a gateway to the Concourse Yard. They feature ornamental limestone columns and aluminum doors. The buildings are connected by an iron bridge that retains its original Art Deco balustrade.[83] The latter is a one-story brick building measuring 50 feet by 100 feet and featuring a brick parapet with ornamental limestone and aluminum doors.[84]

Other yards[edit]

36th–38th Street Yard[edit]

Western portion of the 36th–38th Street Yard, and a hand-operated switch.

The 36th–38th Street Yard, sometimes referred to as simply the 38th Street Yard,[85][86][87] is located between Fifth and Seventh Avenues in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, adjacent to the Jackie Gleason Bus Depot and the Ninth Avenue station of the BMT West End Line. Green-Wood Cemetery lies to the north of the yard.[22][88] This yard is not normally used for revenue-service train maintenance.[89][90] Its primary function is to store diesel and electrically powered maintenance-of-way and other non-revenue service rolling stock. It is also used to transfer trash from garbage collector trains to trucks via platforms inside the yard just south of 37th Street.[22][64][86][89] There is a control tower for the West End Line at the south end of the yard.[89][91] The yard is entirely equipped with hand-operated switches.[89] Only Fresh Pond Yard and East New York Yard share this characteristic.[6]

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority plans to enlarge, and modernize this yard to accommodate, inspect and maintain additional revenue service trains here, due to chronic overcrowding at their other existing main facilities,[64][89] as many trains are stored on the BMT Fourth Avenue Line's mainline express tracks during off-peak periods.[48] The expanded yard will also provide much-needed storage space for future Second Avenue Subway trains.[64][89][90] Up to twelve storage tracks would be added along with power switches, with some non-revenue trains relocated to other areas.[64][89] Plans to expand the yard for revenue service trains have existed since the late 1980s.[61]

This southern part of the yard used to be the center of the South Brooklyn Railway (owned by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company), which extended from Bush Terminal through the north part of the yard, then down Gravesend Avenue and into the Coney Island Yard.[22][92][93] What is now the Jackie Gleason Bus Depot was formerly the site of a train inspection shed.[87]

Linden Shops[edit]

The switch to Linden Yard at the Junius Street station

Linden Shops is a track shop, where track switches and other components are assembled. It has track connections to the IRT New Lots Line and the BMT Canarsie Line, but no third rail, restricting the facility to diesel-powered trains only. There is also a track connection to the Long Island Rail Road's Bay Ridge Branch. This connection is one of two from the subway to the mainline United States rail network (the connection between the BMT West End Line and the South Brooklyn Railway is the other).[6]

Clifton Yard[edit]

Clifton Yard

The Clifton Yard is the sole yard on the Staten Island Railway, and is located next to the Clifton station. Heavy maintenance of equipment is performed at the Clifton Yard.[94] As there is no connection from the passenger portion of the Staten Island Railway to the mainline U.S. railroad network or the subway, the only remaining R44 subway cars on the Staten Island Railway[1] must be trucked over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to Coney Island Yard if they need maintenance that Clifton Yard cannot perform.[22] Additional storage for revenue trains is located adjacent to the Tottenville station at the south end of the line, while maintenance of non-revenue trains is performed at a Maintenance of Way shop near the Tompkinsville station.[6][94]
