For those who don't know, the MTA is rehabilitating the Culver Viaduct on the IND Prospect Park Line. When this section opened on July 1, 1933, it was an engineering short cut, and yet it contains the highest station in the system -- Smith & 9th Street is 88 feet above ground. The reason this viaduct exists is because the line would have to cross the Gowanus Canal, and it would easier and cheaper to go over it than tunnel under it. Alas, the Viaduct was born.
