Jeff Rosen didn't ask any questions, he just posted the link to Joe Brennan's article on 76th St.

Conduit Blvd has a sewer line that turns onto Drew Avenue, and another onto Ruby Street. Nothing goes past into or beyond 76th Street on Conduit Blvd. Coincedence?

Proof of this statement may come soon.

the conduit runs into nassau county.there is a pumping station at sunrise h,way and hook creek blvd.it was originaly owned by nyc to pump water into the city from nassau.over the years our water supply increased so it was sold to nassau county. in the long island forum last year that had the complet history of it.

I don't think that page is a reliable source... it seems to be more of an April Fool's joke...

For example, the photo of the "new" R10 train. Why is it in MTA blue and silver if the photo was supposed to be taken in 1948?

We are all interested in this 76th Street question. It is possible that 76th Street was built and forgotten about over the last 60 years. But, are there any other 'mystery' stations or tunnels out there??? There have to more IND-second-system remnants than we know now about. Does Mr. Tunnel Rat have any stories on this matter??

That's not possible. Whatever was built there is on record somewhere. There are also other records that could prove it's not there, if that is the case. In either case, we are not being given access to those records, and the people who have seen them or could see them aren't talking. And no one has forgotten about it. We talk about it all the time.

You can't build a subway tunnel and "forget" about it (unless your last name is Beech). Blueprints would have to exist. A contractor would have to have been paid for constructing it. If it still exists it would have to be maintained, or filled in (like sections of the 2nd Ave Subway are/were).

douce man,the 4 tracks dip down and end at a concrete wallat about grant and pitkin.the original plan was to have 4tracks to the lirr at aqueduct race track and have 2 tracks ramp up to the lirr r.o.w.the 2 other tracks were to go down to linden blvd.to 229st.laurelton.the 1939 plan was revised to cut back the line to 106st along side of aqueduct race track.to you t.a. types out there,neet time your in euclid tower look at the model board.it states that the 4 tracks were to go to 76st. and crossbay blvd.there is a signal relay room just past the model board.when you walk thru the door look to your left.on the wall is a glass enclosed 1947 orignal signal schmatic showing all the signals to the concrete wall.it also shows that beyound the wall the tunnel continues and states that the signals beyound the wall were to be put in by the contractor at a later date.this is a significant piece of the puzzle that is 76st. steve.

Before I get to the other responses, the tracks past 179th are SPACIOUS compared to what was in the tunnel supposedly leading to "76th street" according to people who turned 4-6 cars on those tracks. That was about as much as you could turn in the "hole" that got filled in. Didn't go back very far in other words.

Besides ... I feel it my sacred duty to keep this 76th Street thing going ... it's as much a part of "our" culture here as "proff!" :)
