You have to ask yourself one thing...if some say there's nothing behind those walls...then *why* build the walls in the first place? HUH? LION thinks you need to go back to thinking school. Look at ANY Tunnel at the end of any line. What do you find there? A WALL. (Well except at Times Square on the (7). There is no wall there. It really does go across the river, under New Jersey, and comes out on the other side of the world. Right at the Great WALL of China!

Well, putting the YARD in the way certainly spoiled the fun, eh? NOPE. You do not know the track layout. The PITKIN LINE was a Four Track line and was planned to continue as such all the way to Cross Bay Blvd. Leaving Euclid and turning to the south one enters the Pitkin Yard. Leaving Euclid and turning to the north one enters the Liberty Avenue El. The tunnel in question goes on straight ahead where the train would have and should have gone but the city turned cheap on us and did something else. Cheep. |

Iwas also inside the signal relay room.on the wall is the original signal drawings dated 1948 showing all the signals.it showed the concrete wall beyound grant and pitkin.it shows where signals were to to be placed beyound the wall to be installed at a later date.they were to be controlled by the 76st.tower.tunnelrat |

No, cinder blocks make fine retaining walls if built with "footers" ... *I* was told that there was a cinder block wall "back there" with dirt behind it. As to what specifically is back there, is anybody's guess. But there's fill, and then there's a bit of space not suitable for 8/10 cars past the cinder blocks on the outside of the tunnel.Should be quite interesting if there's any PROFF. :) |

Richard, no one is denying that the line WAS IN FACT supposed to continue straight past Euclid with a four track line, and in FACT the next station after Euclid was to be called "76th Street". There is no controversy there. The controversy is whether or not they actually got to built that station there or not - not whether it was planned (we all know it WAS planned).The part that makes it a slight possibility that it was built was that the tunnel was actually built during the depression, and before the United States got involved in WWII. The station shells for Liberty Ave, Van Siclen, Shephard, and Euclid Ave were all built (and perhaps 76th Street). Then once the United States got involved in WWII, construction stopped. By 1936, the line was only completed to Rockaway Ave, just short of Broadway Junction, however the tunneling was done all the way to "just past Euclid", ant that included the station shells for Broadway Junction to Euclid (and perhaps 76th St). Wartime restrictions made them hault putting in the finishing touches, such as rails and signalling, materials that would not become available until after the war. Finally, the line was opened to East New York-Bway Junction in 1946, and to Euclid by 1948 (twelve years after when the original tunnel was built, and then haulted). That's where the missing link comes in. I don't want to imply 76th St does exist, however, if a forgotten station can exist, all the conditions can be seen here. Between the actually construction of the tunnel and station shells, the confusion of WWII, all the changes to the IND planned Second System, when the line was finally opened up to Euclid Ave in 1948, many years after the original construction was finished, and many years after the original plans for the Fulton line were originally made, it was a totally different climate that line opened under. So in summary. There is NO controversy that there was a planned subway station for 76th St, the controversy is only whether it was actually built. Look at these maps of the IND Second System lines. http://www.subchat.com/read.asp?Id=124546 One of them (I don't recall if it's the original one or the updated one) shos how the Fulton Line was supposed to continue straight to 76th ST, and also to Grant Ave. The line was meant to go straight, but we could actually blame Hitler for it not going through, as after WWII, everything changed. |

Actually, cinder blocks are easier removed if they needed to. Again, it's not that they weren't PLANNING to build further, the controversy is whether they actually did or not. A ciner block wall could mean two things:-They are blocking "something" off. -They need to put a wall there for future expansion, which was planned. Neither proves that the 76th ST exists, or doesn't exist...it just proves that it "could" exist or that they just put it up "for when they do build further". - But that brings us right back in a circle, maybe it's there, maybe it's not. |

The issue is, I knew Manhattan streets are numbered, up to and past 76 (into at least the 140s and possibly higher). I never thought to look at Brooklyn streets until someone mentioned "Pitkin Ave", in which case I knew something was amiss if the place were to be Manhattan. So now I didn't know which borough to look in. Then someone mentioned "Fulton St.", so I looked it up in the 2nd System map that he linked me to. Sure enough, the line led to "Pitkin Ave." in Brooklyn, more or less, to the right. |

Yep, and for the "record," what *I* heard from a now-deceased retiree who worked the line (and did TOO much yard duty) is that they did build it quite a ways deep, but didn't install anything really useful for turning WHOLE trains - but there was third rail that went back 6 cars or so on ONE track, and the other tracks laid were MUCH shorter, and one of the four tracks ended just a few feet inside the portal and that switches DID exist and were used.He also said that at the far back of the tunnel, where another set of cement blocks were located, had dirt piled behind them, but right where they were located, the tunnel "widened" and he saw what looked like the shell of a station, but it was only 1-2, maybe 3 carlengths ... when 76th Street erupted on Subtalk many years ago, I asked and he was pretty non-committal, almost laughing at me for bringing it up and said that HE believed there was more back there, but it had been filled in before HE got hired. That's it - no less, no more ... but there WAS enough down there to actually lay up some trains, that's what HE remembered. And he said they DID lay up bad order cars there ... |

I suspected the 76th Street station was an alien camp! They have been living there quite nicely in the LowV's they hid there that didn't fit on the Dyre Express tracks.... |

Like I've said before, if there was signifacant tunnelage past that concrete barrier, whose maintaining it (in accordance with NY State law)? Why was it blocked off to begin with when the area could be used to lay up trains closer to Euclid than the yard? |

ANY "embarassment" simply vanishes off the map and other documents ... "NEVER happened" is what it's called. That's why they're FOIA laws NOW ... but they're not retroactive. In nearby Schenectady, there's a place called "PEEK STREET." Manhattan Project did their isotope extractions to build little boy and fatman there. At least the uranium part of it all.EVERY document as to where they buried the chit is gone. Only a geiger counter or radon detector knows for sure. :( 76th Street, as the legend goes was a political embarassment. Google "Judge Crater" ... political bad news vanishes ... one way or another. That I'm self-employed now is witness to what happened to me when I inadvertently exposed political rump without intent ... That all said, 76th would be handled the same way ... Averill Harriman made Paturkey look like the ELMER that he is (look up his middle name). :( |

A1 A3 and A2 tracks each will hold 10 cars south of Euclid. A4 track holds 8 cars. Of course we're talking the 60' variety so those tracks extend at least 600 feet beyond the interlocking.

Y'know, at least we've succeeded at having a CIVILIZED discussion about 76th St. That's a far cry from the first Subchat discussion about this (although not the first Subtalk one, of course). I never intended for that discussion to dissolve into badmouthing, yet it did. At least THIS time y'all are much more mature about it. congrats and mazel tov :) |

Instaed of building the rest of the Pitkin Avenue Subway to Cross Bay and Beyond, they turned left and said the El with it!

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). NOPE. Not a Chance. The Pitkin yard is SOUTH of Pitkin Avenue. The tracks make a 90' Right turn to enter the yard. The entire yard is SOUTH and west of 76th Street. 76th Street station was to be on Pitkin Avenue. It would have formed a wye with the yard.
