Originally from: Board of Transportation, City of New York, Study for Alignment and Grades from Grant Avenue to 106th Street with Connection to Rockaway Division of the L.I.R.R.

In one of my earlier posts, I presented a map of the mysterious 76th Street Station at Pitkin Avenue in Brooklyn. No one knows if beyond a bulkhead, there is an empty shell that is just several feet long or even if there is an entire untracked station for four tracks with two side platforms with finished tile. I cannot solve this mystery and for readers that want more information, they can find it on the internet. I just happen to have this proposed map of the 76th Street Station and beyond. As originally planned by the New York City Board of Transportation, the IND Fulton Street Line east of Euclid Avenue was supposed to access the Rockaway Division of the L.I.R.R. using the trackage shown with stops at 84th Street, Cross Bay Boulevard and a branch south to Howard Beach and beyond. Instead, the Board changed its mind and the IND Fulton Street Line reached the L.I.R.R. trackage by using the B.M.T. City Line Elevated east of Grant Avenue. The Fulton Street IND subway has been running to Rockaway since 1956.
