This place at 125th Street was about my only chance to stand right
over the conduit slot and take my time getting a photograph looking
down into it, without feeling like some speeding car would be on me in
seconds. Anyway, it looks like it's pretty well filled up with
garbage by now.
We'll finish with the mysterious hatch, which can be seen in
the lower photo. It looks like there may have been a larger opening
opposite it, extending the whole way from the conduit to the running
rail (and beyond?), since at exactly that point there are no paving
stones but rather a blacktop patch. So what is it?
UPDATE... May 27... I'd been wondering whether this might
have been a plough pit, a place where someone could go down
under the cars and put ploughs on and off, but maybe not. This one
looks like it allows good access into the conduit, but I think the
cleaning manholes are the large covers we saw before..
