It all depends on whether there was a coverup and how serious it was. I have seen plans for the BMT 4 Av subway S/O 59 St which as most people may know is half of a 4 track subway as far as 86 St. The existing 2 tracks of the subways would have become the S/B lcl and exp tracks of a 4 track subway if the N/B side had ever been built. The only easily observable evidence of the N/B tracks is the short section N/O 69 St where from a N/B train, the trackways of the proposed N/B tracks may be seen. The plans show no construction of any kind other than the afore mentioned section ever having been built yet there are supposed to be short sections of subway tunnel for the N/B tracks at various places along 4 Av in Bay Ridge. According to an old PSC report I have seen about the construction of the 4 Av subway, When Bkln Edison was building circuit breaker chambers in the area, the company was requested to build them as sections of subway tunnel in the even they would need to be captured for rapid transit use. That they were not specifically built for subway construction per se seems to account for the reason that the tA has no actual records of their construction or existence. It could be possible that due to various other construction projects in the area of 76 St at the time that the parts of 76 St station that were built were built by a contractor not directly associated with the B of T and therefore, the NYCTA would not necessarily have any records of its existence. |
