Besides it obviously being Photoshopped, you can't have missed all the debate on SubTalk.If reading the text didn't give it away, the MTA paint scheme (which didn't exist before 1968) should be plainly obvious. The period after 76 on the pillar is also pretty blatent. |

It's already determined that that photo on Joe's page was taken at 7th Ave.How do we know it's doctored? Well take a look at this:  Not to mention that diehard railfan that is still on that train at the RF window from the 1940's to the 1970's when the 7th Ave photo was taken. That poor railfan lost in the twilight zone somewhere:

No, 76th St is not just an April Fool Joke. The April Fool joke is a direct joke because of the already circulating rumor on 76th St. It's not a chicken and eg scenario. The legend/rumor of the 76th St station was first, then the April Fool's joke. |

It'll all make sense when you read "The DaVinci Code". The Cathars built the station, and the Priory of Sion keeps it a secret to this day. If one looks behind the image of Jesus in DeVinci's "Last Supper", one can almost make out a purple and cream tiled column. |

I've always wondered why there was a ballfield alongside the subway/Former LIRR ROW from Pitkin Avenue to the backend of Old Aqueduct Station. The rest of the neighborhood is built up. But that piece of land isn't developed at all. I'd assume tha was the location for the ramp to the LIRR. |

Oh NOES! I'se got some sleeping to do after too much work. Aggggh! :)What I'd tried to type was that I was told by a guy who worked the A before it was sealed up that there was about enough room on ONE track for maybe 6 cars, and 4 cars on two others. Word is there's one track that goes maybe 10 FEET past the cinder blocks and that they'd stick some trains there when needed, but those tracks were totally useless. I *know* you know about YARDS, bro. Heh. If those tracks were the LEAST bit useful for 8 or 10 cars worth of anything, they'd be *used* ... no? Man ... I'm amazed (haven't read the rest of this chain yet) that anybody thought I was resurrecting a ghost ... but since this seems to be the case ... here is everything I got told by a veteran A train motorman who refreshed me about two years ago just before he died here in Voorheesville at the age of 76 ... "Four tracks, one of which is useful, you can turn maybe 8 cars if you're careful on it, but *I* wouldn't try it, two other tracks that maybe you can do four, and one track that just ends the moment it got dark. Nothing went there." "The tunnel goes back a good way and there are signs of local platforms that were planned, but never built where the end gets wider. No concrete was poured for platforms, but the shell was built, but only 2-3 carlengths worth. At the end, there's cinder blocks and a lot of dirt." "Third rail extended about far enough for 6 cars on the one set of tracks that we used. No third rail was placed for the other three tracks beyond where the sections logically extended from the interlocking." It WAS used for turning cuts of cars, and it was used for layups." END of story. That's what *I* heard. That there WAS "an enlargement for a station" and that the tunnel did go a ways back. Was that "enlargement" 76th? HE didn't think so, but it IS back there. His opinion was that the tunnel only went back 3-4 blocks, but SOMETHING was there - perhaps plans for an interlocking that got moved outside the tunnel in the end? Who knows? Who CARES? :) |

Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Thu Aug 18 14:58:07 2005, in response to posting, posted by tunnel rat on Tue Aug 16 13:48:15 2005. Actually, I found this official photo at nycsubway.org that shows that the IND actually chose a design very similar to the contract one IRT stations when designing the mezzanine of the 76th Street station when they snapped this photo using glass plate negatives. While the platform itself was done in the new style IND purple tiles to match Euclid, the mezzanine had some pretty intricate design like the IRT:

Nonetheless, they could've been building the yard, and someone mistook the idea for a station, or someone might've thought up an idea for a station but it transmogrified into a yard. (Or, perhaps, the project started out as a station but someone figured a yard would work better on the spot than a station, so bye-bye platforms, hello tracks and more room). I submit to you that the Pitkin Ave yard may have been born as a "76th St. Station" or mistaken for a "76th St Station" in its early construction phases. |
