Re: Latest FBI mafia graveyard excavation in Ozone Park may have stumbled upon 76th Street

That's how I look at it. If it had been built, and especially if it had ever had service, there would be a picture and official records someplace.

For example, the never-used El on Delancey Street (coming off the Williamsburg Bridge) was photographed. Even though none of us ever saw it in person, there's no doubt it existed. Same holds true for the BRT tunneling work on Lexington Avenue. There is no doubt that it took place, though no alive today was around when that work was done, and there's no sign of it still extant. There's also no doubt at all about the BRT's work to connect Chambers Street to the Brooklyn Bridge- in fact, photos were taken of the men doing it.

My take on 76th Street: There's no doubt at all that the IND/BOT planned it. I think they even started something- hence the signals that would face it. But I doubt they ever got beyond utility and street level work- some utility vaults do appear to have been placed in a manner to accommodate it. I'd guess there's a short earthen void beyond the famed cinderblock wall and that's it.
