There seems to be a track from the Jamaica bound local track between Roosevelt and Elmhurst Aves onto the Winfield route. I don't think it was ever used as a lay-up track.Further down at Woodhaven Blvd there is trackage going behind the island platforms. Maybe it was meant to make the station an express stop. There was also some talk about a subway line going out to the Island under Horace Harding/L.I.E. After Van Wyck Blvd there was 2 tracks that would have went south from there. It becasme part of the Archer Ave line. It might have been a lay-up area at one time. After 179 St the 4 tracks turn into an 8 track/2 level lay-up area. The tracks are still there. But it's interesting wondering what was planned for the location. Between Steinway and 46 Sts there was plans for a line that would have continued along Broadway, gone under the East River into Manhattan and connected with (I think) a line coming north from 6 Ave. I don't know exactly how much was built. But it was meant to be part of the IND Second System. |
