Ok, a tunnel and part of a station that's not going to be used...it's kinda neat, but they saw a lot of neat things down there. Little did anyone know back then it would become the legend it has. Nothing is compelling me to take any pictures of my office building today. Perhaps it may not exists in 50 years. |

Yes, I have to slightly correct myself, because I rechecked some of the proposed track diagrams as found in Jeff Erlitz' articles in some of the NYDERA's "Bulletin" newsletter...Any chance of a scan? And you are right, that plans was to have the Fulton Street Line all the way out there to the terminal station in Eastern Queens What stations were planned between Cross Bay and 229th (or wherever it had been cut back to by then)? |

Correct, from about CIP eastbound. But us locals don't stand on formality. It is what it is, and whatever we (I) choose to call it at the moment. Call it what one likes. It is a major west-east route on Long Island at this latitute, for lack of a better word which my addled brain can't pull up at this time of the morning (parkways and expreeways excluded). |

No, I do not have a scan right now of that article from 2005 showing those track diagrams taking from the proposed plans. As for what stations were being planned to be formally built at first as said in the article, it was to have those four-track local stations at 76th Street and 84th Street, the four-track express station at Cross Bay Boulevard and the two-track stub terminal at 105th (or 106th) Street and Rockaway Boulevard. The track provisions were drawn in for the connection to the LIRR Rockaway Line.No mention of any stations that were planned to built as it was going eastward towards Eastern Queens, but here is a link to a map from the 1939 master plan that shows such items as the IND's takeover of the Liberty Avenue elevated, its separate extension along Pitkin Avenue, and what would have the entire conversion of the LIRR Rockaway Line from Rego Park out to the Rockaways for rapid transit operation... 1939 IND Second System Map. -William A. Padron ["Jamaica and Rockaway ->"] |

It will be like the Beach tunnel when the BRT workers broke through it in 1912. When they broke through the cinder block wall to build the Broadway line, they found Beach's old experimental railcar still sitting on the tracks, just where Beach left it in 1873. |

Yes, as mentioned, on the west side of Cross Island it's Jamaica Ave, and the east side (even the side in Queens now) is Jericho turnpike.Until a couple years ago, the eastbound side was Jericho Turnpike, and the west bound side was Jamaica Ave making for confusion. |

There's a huge difference between imagining something that you can do, or build and imagining something that DOESN'T EXIST AND NEVER WILL! The only way there will ever have been a 76th Street station is if they build one now or in the future. |

Only in so much as the length would not interfere with the existing inastructure. It's still built to be as wide (within some feet) to the existing line they were building. 130 feet is just slightly wider than the actual line it cuts past. An IND station is in excess of 600 feet long. |

Probably the same place where it presently cuts over form Fulton to Pitkin, down Pennsylvania Ave. Instead of continuing down Penna Av to Pitkin, however it would have curved east under Liberty. Under that scenario, instead of the current Liberty Av station, there would probably have been a station under Penna Av a bit north of the current location or else just east of Penna Av under Liberty itself but close to the present Liberty Av station. |

But they knew that the Beach subway was still there, they didn't stumble into it by accident. It may have been popularly forgotten, but it wasn't unknown and surprising. Same thing with the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel. Why should 76th Street be so unique? The station should be called Area 76 (cf. Area 51) because it must have been used for weird military experiments if its so secret. |

We have a similar situation here in Brooklyn. Somewhere in the 30s going from South Park Slope to Sunset park, the numbering system changes to a similar system to Queens where the first digit (or digits) indicate the previous street or avenue. The only difference being that in Bkln, there is no dash in the address thus a Queens address would be shown as 39-01 but a similar Brooklyn address would be 3901. |

Interesting map ... that'd explain it then. As to the population at the time, many new subway lines built to serve the inner portions were extended out into the middle of nowhere. When I was growing up, Riverdale in the Bronx was largely empty with small residential buildings and a few apartment buildings. That area didn't mushroom until the mid 1950's. Today, it could pass for Manhattan. Long before the IND was built, it was proven that if you built a subway to nowhere, once it was up and running the areas it served would also mushroom with construction.And given where it was headed - to Long Island and the Rockaways, I'm sure they expected some serious traffic on the lines ... |

If he was, he'd have said so, instead he regales us of stories of his chats with other people who have claimed to see flimsy evidence in support of a station, like a weird nearby basement, or an uncorroborated, vague account of something that looks like a subway station. It's like people who claim that they DEFINITELY saw the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, or the Jersey Devil. |

All the "east-west" streets, beginning with 36th St, and the separate eastern part of 35th St., have standard 100's blocks. As to the avenues, it works out as follows:1st Av-7th Av: all jump to 3900 at 39th St and continue at 100 per block. 8th Av: streets catch up with numbers at about 3rd St, then 100 per block. 9th Av: Prospect Park West portion 10 per block from Grand Army Plaza, then 20 per block (or perhaps 12 and 24) to 20th St, then 3900 at 39th St. 10th Av-26th Av: 100's blocks all the way, although 10th and 11th have both 2 and 1502 at Prospect Park Southwest. 12th and 18th Avs are back numbered to Dahill Rd. and Coney Island Av. respectively. Bay Pkwy (22nd Av) back numbered to Ocean Pkwy. 27th Av-28th Av: 1 at Stillwell Av, no 100's blocks. Bob |

Unfortunately, when the Gunn/Kiley administration took over, Gunn's crony Dave Feeley came through all the NYCTA facilities and removed and trashed anything he perceived as out of date and that book along with some railfan valuable timetables from the schedule office ended up in the recycling bin. What the book had was a listing of all the emergency exits on the IND and their street locations. Unfortunately I don't recall the actual dat of the book, but hopefully some command center supervisor or supt who is a buff will have salvaged it and preserved it somewhere. |
