Posted by William A. Padron on Tue Jan 25 11:47:24 2011, in response to Re: Q About LTV Squad and 76th Street, posted by tunnelrat on Sun Jan 23 17:10:44 2011. Yes, I have to slightly correct myself, because I rechecked some of the proposed track diagrams as found in Jeff Erlitz' articles in some of the NYDERA's "Bulletin" newsletter...Cross Bay Boulevard was going be a four track express/track station, and whose track and platform layout was to have been similar to 168th Street on the Washington Heights branch. The local tracks, now in the center, would have continued eastward for relaying trains or storage layups (just like at 174th Street Yard). Then, as you had stated, the main express tracks would had to continue for one more stop to around 105th or 106th Street and Rockaway Boulevard, nearby Aqueduct Race Track. There were to be track provisions after leaving Cross Bay Boulevard to go into the LIRR's Rockaway Line, with two tracks meeting up with the route just north of what is now the Aqueduct-North Conduit Avenue station. And you are right, that plans was to have the Fulton Street Line all the way out there to the terminal station in Eastern Queens, but had been cut back. Let's not forget though that a in-between station at 84th Street and Pitkin Avenue was also planned to be built, between those for at 76th Street and Cross Bay Boulevard. -William A.
