You can verify this if you measure the lengths in Google satellite view.Yeah, I can see there could be some of the extra space, particularly at the intermediate stations, for a 11-car train to be cleared into the station. I have to wonder if the Pitkin Avenue extension stations, such as at Euclid Avenue, and at Grant Avenue was originally built for only ten-car trains, as I see no "wiggle" room in the front (where the 10 car marker is located) whenever I rode the trains through there, unless there is extra platform space in the rear of the platform I am not aware of [except I do know it has at 75th Avenue on the IND QBL]. -William A.
