Looks like others are confused by this and weren't around when everything got built. You're correct in that there was an upper level which was to be used for the "Queens Super Express" which would have taken over some LIRR route (maybe the one that goes past Shea?) or some other arrangement.

When they did the 63 to Queens, it's my understanding that the construction work that was done to connect the BMT to the IND destroyed the original arrangements in some way that made that go away entirely as an option, bellmouths or not. But I *do* remember it being part of the original design ...
