Based on the way that the area around Euclid that we definitely know about was constructed, I think that the idea of a subway further down Pitkin lasted until sometime after the war. Otherwise there would have been no reason to include 76 St on the Euclid model board which was ordered postwar. If the idea had been dropped during the war, there would have been no reason to go to the expense of installing the right hand side of the Euclid machine which in addition to displaying 76 St also had the associated push buttons for the additional signals in the area which were also installed. Additionally, the Pitkin Yd interlocking machine also has provisions for yard leads connecting to an eastward extension of the Pitkin subway and those yard leads actually did see limited use until they were removed in the 1960s. |
