Well, the ERA chartered a "rail polisher" fan trip back in 1965, using the R-1/9's to cover as much as the IND during nighttime. For their fantrip brochure, it was a four page booklet showing all the tracks used by the IND, and also provisions proposed for extensions. These tracks wwre hand drawn by David Rogoff, or "D.R."Yes, it does show 76th Street drawn there as a proposal for the Fulton Street Line to go further to Linden Boulevard via Pitkin Avenue. They were bulkheads, however, as noted in place as far west of the proposed station and proposed clead tracks to/from Pitkin Yard. The notes said as handwritten, "Structure & Tracks To Right of Bulkhead Never Built (Propsoed Only). It could mean that the main Fulton Street four-track line only went as far as Elderts Lane, as said in another post. There were bulkheads in place prior to the Liberty Avenue Extension and to/from Pitkin Yard there, but of course, they were removed after construction had begun during the 1950's and opened for service in April 1956. By the way, the brouchure also shows such IND gems at the 174th Street Yard under Broadway, the 6th Avenue Express and Chrystie Street Connection tracks under construction, ans so many of the proposed IND Second System bellmouths to other proposed routes too numerous to mention here. -William A.
