The Myrtle Avenue Improvement on the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad
While heavy grades are quite as objectionable on elevated as on surface railways, the use of double stations, as distinguished from island or intertrack stations, increases operating expenses more rapidly than heavy grades, and introduces a railway problem not often found on surface lines. These double stations are frequently convenient, sometimes necessary, but always expensive. This last-named feature is occasionally overlooked. Few realize, for example, that the Manhattan Railway Company could pay a dividend nearly 1% larger on its stock, if it could use island stations over its whole line.
