Well according to a Hagstrom map I saw that showed the portion of the subway east of Rocky Av to open in 1943, the station in the area of the Bkln/Qns border was labeled as 75 St not 76 St. 75 St and Ruby St are the same street so that might have made sense. There are, however instances during the construction of all 3 subway divisions where stations were proposed with one name and actually opened under another. 205 St on the D line is an example. Although the station is referred to publicly as "205 St," on the original model boards at both Bedford Pk and 205 St towers, it is referred to as "Perry Ave." I have also seen documentation that seems to indicate that Bway/Nassau St station was to be called Fulton St even though it was never called that until its name was officially changed recently. W4 St station actually has no entrances at W4 St at all although I have seen what looks like a provision for such an entrance in the form of a closed agent's booth on the east side of the middle mezzanine. |
