Given the two level layup past 179th, it is possible that 179th Street was intended as the LOCAL terminal, with express service continuing beyond...That's my interpretation of the layout at 179th. The locals have access to only the lower level, which would be trickier to extend, so it seems reasonable that it was intended as a 71st-style relay operation. The express tracks could relatively easily be extended along Hillside, perhaps as a two- or three-track service to the city line, which is pretty typical of IND construction. |
