I am not saying that the tunnel may not lead to 76th and beyond.
What I'm saying is that the 1951 pic clearly demonstrates that there is no shell station on Pitkin on its intersections with both Ruby and 76th since the street is clearly on a higher ground above depressed empty lots north and south of it. Once can tell from the shadows cast that it's several feet above.
Under such circumstances, a concrete shell should have been visible.
Those lots were later built over with the houses present there now but unlike in the 1924 photo when there was absolutely nothing, the '51 photo shows a paved and raised Pitkin Av surrounded by below street level empty lots with no signs of a shell. We are essentially looking into the basements of today's structures there.
