I *know* from other folks that I worked with back in 1970 that the tunnel is definitely there - arguments are over how FAR back it went. I've heard that there were concrete forms for a station at the other end, but no actual station, and the forms sorta ended before its "natural length" as though "abandoned in progress and backfilled" ... also heard, "it wasn't backfilled and all is there." And this was back when I worked for the EmTeeYay 35 years ago, straight from the old timers who described some of those rails still being ACTIVE when I worked there as "loops" and "layups."Do I *believe* in 76th Street? Well ... I believe in "brotherhood of man" and "power to the people as long as NiMo can crank a hundred watts" ... but there was, even back in MY time, before the blocks filled the portal that it made the ass end of 179th look like a stadium as far as "parking" went ... and rumor had it that some LoV's got hid down there RATHER than the popular tale of Dyre fow quite some time. What can I say? I don't KNOW the answer, but I'll listen to any evidence presented - to this day, I'm not closed of mind on it. |
