Re: [PHOTOS] JFK Express

I could have sworn the same, that the 57th Street-Sixth Avenue terminal station was opened as a stub-ended terminal in 1968, and that the tracks ended at a bumper block. I remember in the mid-1970's taking the KK train from that station to Brooklyn, before the K or KK was ended.

I believe that the display at the NYC Transit Exhibit showed the 57th Street-Sixth Avenue station as a stub-end terminal on their intricate plastic tubed display board of the subway tracks.

I had always known about the layup trains north of the 57th Street-Seventh Avenue station - I used that station regularly for high school in the mid-1970's.

I am wondering about that photo. Much work on the 63rd Street Tunnel was done in the 1970's with Roosevelt Island being reached by October 1972, according to Wikipedia - passenger service would not begin until 1989. It definitely seems possible.
