D & 6 Line Curiosity?

$

0

Just always wondered why the 6 line is underground in the bronx up till just outside hunts point ave? 

 

All the other IRT Lines Come above ground pretty much in the lower bronx... but the 6 travels quite a way before 

 

becomes elevated...

 

And How Come The B/D Concourse line wasnt elevated? Especially with the concourse being as wide as it is.. Are

 

these a topography issue? (high water table,etc) with both lines?

 

It seems that its been always cheaper to build above ground then below for the obvious reasons...

 

I rode the 6 earlier this afternoon to see a co worker to Elder  and I was just thinkin to maself...this line is still

 

underground after like 5 stops in the bronx......lol...Just lookin for a lil insight as to the construction method for 

 

these particular lines...Appreciate yall!
