Roosevelt Av is fairly level between 74 St and Junction Blvd. The tracks may heve been raised at the stations to make room for the mezzanines. The reason for the dips may have been to save steel (shorter columns) between the stations, or maybe they did think it would speed up the trains. There's a similar dip between 40 St and 46 St on the concrete viaduct.
