"Spite" me thinks was not a factor in 74th st being a local sta on the Flushing Line. Let me stick my neck out here & guess that when the Flushing line came thru Jackson Heights back in 1916-1917, the plans for an Independent subway to be tunneled thru Broadway intersecting with Roosevelt Ave were yet to be concieved.Thus, the IRT engineers would have no incentive to make 74th St an express stop. Strictly speculation here. |
