Re: 75th Avenue (Re: What Are the Now-Abandoned Stations You Once Used Regularly?)

After the first subways were built they were so heavily used that the engineers looked for ways to speed up the service and increase capacity. That's why the IND stations are spaced further apart than those on the IRT and BMT. The IND stations were also built with 600' long platforms from day one so 10 car trains could be run.
