The problem with even considering the validity of Joe Brennan's April fool photo is that it is apparent that most of the readers of this site are painfully unaware that 76 St was never meant to be a terminal but only a local station on a line that was proposed to extend farther out towards the Aqueduct area where the connection to the LIRR ROW was originally supposed to be made. The evidence, scant though it may be, of the existence of a 76 St station shell which consists of the display on the Euclid model board of the 76 St station clearly shows that there was no provision for the station to be used as a terminal since there were to have been no switches of any kind immediately east of the station. I have brought this to the attention of the readers of this forum many times and yet there seem to be some individuals who believe that the Joe Brennan gag photo has a certain degree of authenticity as well as some apocryphal articles that have shown up that also,indicate that there was some sort of service terminating at that location. |
