Tunnelrat: The Bulletins that you refer to are June 1960 and April 1963. There was a 1937 proposal to extend the then the then unbuilt Sixth Avenue Line due north under Central Park and then east to Queens via a tunnel at 72nd Street. This route would then join up with the IND at 36th Street. As you recall this was project T-19. Another proposal was put forth in 1950. t would branch off the then planned Second Avenue subway and cross the East River at YES, 76th STREET and run along 34th Avenue in Queens. This later proposal was re-presented in some detail in 1963. There is no mention of any preliminary boring done, only proposals. Nevertheless I could understand why you would favor the tunnel under 76th Street. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
