3. Under the 1929 plan, the Fulton-Liberty line wasn't to connect to the Rockaway line at all. Under the 1939 plan, the Fulton El was not to connect to the Rockaway line, however, the extention beyond Euclid (GO 76th STREET!!!) was supposed to connect to the Rockaway line.


No, it was meant to connect to the Myrtle/Central line via Montauk in 1929. In 1939 there were to be 2 connections, including the current one. Totally unecessary, IMHO. Growth in the Rockaways was probably expected to be higher.

No, look closely at the 1939 map. The Rockway line connection is only to the extention of the Fulton Subway, not the Liberty El.
