Y'know, I read somewhere that sometime after the shuttle was going to be discontinued, there was a plan where the 3 line would've used that portion of the 9th Avenue line and head to the Bronx. From what I read, the Lenox Avenue trains would've exited through a portal past 145th Street, then get onto the swing bridge, use the Sedgwick tunnel and on over the Jerome Line. And the reason this wasn't done was because the tunnels weren't tall or wide enough to support IRT equipment, and it would've cost the TA a fortune to modify those tunnels.
