The 50th St. station was built the way it is because of the flying junction between 50th and 59th Sts. You have Ethel trains turning off to Queens as well as Bob and Ted trains coming over from 6th Ave. Since 53rd St. was used as the crosstown route to Queens, there wouldn't have been enough room north of 50th St. to squeeze in wye turnoffs such as the ones south of 59th St.
