Look at how the lot east of Ruby dramatically slopes down from Ruby St street. That hole in the ground then remains level with the adjacent lot on the SW corner of 76th/Pitkin meaning that they are more or less at the same grade since the gravel coming out of the side of Pitkin as it continues east shows no discernible gradient. Besides the shadows, it's those mounds of gravel that demonstrate that Pitkin is at a higher ground than all but the paved (and raised) roads.
All the unpaved and unraised roads bisecting Pitkin ramp up when reaching it, then go down and ramp up again when reaching Liberty Av.
Then look at the recent pics and you no longer see these grade differences because all those streets were raised.

According to those photographs, if there is anywhere where a station may have been built there it's not at 76th but at 78th Street.
