According to info on the IND Fulton St Line, there were some rush hour A trains that terminated at Utica during the time that Rockaway Av was the terminal. That would be the reason for Utica signs. I am only guessing but the Houston/Essex sign might have been meant for a possible station at Essex St on the Houston St Line had the middle tracks at 2 Av been extended through to So 4 St. At the very end of the two tunnels S/O 2 Av, the tracks start to spread and the is what appears to be the start of a trackway for either a diamond Xover or a middle track. I have heard that it was actually for a middle track for a 3 track station at that point similar to Bedford/Nostrand on the G where trains from either uptown Manhattan or Brooklyn could be turned back, thus the reason for the sign. |
