There was talk about extending the NYC subway into Staten Island at least as far back as the 1920s and there were short sections of a Narrows tunnel built from both the Staten Island and Brooklyn sides. There were even semi accessible shafts for the tunnel in Owl’s Head Park in Bay Ridge Bkln, which have recently been filled in. There are also bellmouths S/O 59/4 on the BMT subway for the purpose of connecting to the tunnel. The original SIRT cars were even designed to the dimensions of the BMT steels in the event such a connection was ever built. |
