Posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Sat Feb 5 23:35:12 2011, in response to "J" and "Z" relay, posted by caine515 on Sat Feb 5 21:17:39 2011. Caine: In order to answer your question I consulted a article entitled "Nassau Street Subway History" by the late Mr David Rogff which appeared in the April 1969 Issue of the New York Division Bulletin.Regarding the tail track south of Chambers Street (R 3/4). This track extends about 620 feet from the switch point to the bumper. The bumper is about five feet north of the north wall of the IRT subway (Clark St Line) wall at Beekman Street. The tail track is also about five feet above the level of the IRT tracks at the bumper. The two tails track south of Broad Street Station (R3 and R4) actually begin south of Beaver Street and extend to a point halfway between Water and Front Street. Some distance south of the point where the line spreads to four tracks there is a diamond crossover. The distance from the diamond crossover to the blocks is 575 feet. Mr Rogoff further states that the original purpose of the two stub tracks is in doubt. The 1921 Annual Report of the Public Service Commission says "in connection with the 4 track two story subway under Nassau Street (never built as such) the lower level tracks (the outer ones) were to be used for the Fulton Street Connection from Brooklyn while the upper level (stub tracks) are to be used for the Nassau Street Subway.
