Originally, as deisgned, the Court St station was meant to be a terminal for the Fulton St locals. Of course, they were supposed to go much further east than it was built, but of course, WWII stopped the construction, as we all know. Service could only run as far as Rockaway Ave at the time of the war, and all the trains wound up going to Manhattan when they began service. Had it not been for WWII, and work on the Fulton Subway eastward would have continued way out towards Eastern Queens as it was meant to, the HH would have been the Fulton Local running between that Eastern Terminal, stopping at all the local station (like 76th St, haha), and terminating at Court St. THAT was the original design, but that design never came to fruit. I believe Court St never was served by anything more than the Court St Shuttle, the HH. |
