As I have mentioned in several posts, one of the original proposals for the IND was to connect the tracks at WTC with the BMT line N/O Cortlandt St and using the bellmouths S/O Whitehall and a new underwater tunnel connect to the stub terminal at Court St. BMT local service from Queens and mid Manhattan would then terminate at City Hall since there was at one time a space for a diamond Xover immediately N/O the station. Montague St tunnel service would then use Nassau St exclusively. Of course, none of that ever happened but if it had, the picture of rapid transit in NY would be quite different from what it is today.
