If a forgotten station can exist, one can certainly exist there. Before WWII, subway construction on the subway east of Broadway-East New York (now Bway Junction) was in full swing. The stations at Liberty, Van Siclen, Shepard, Euclid, and possibly 76th were all being built. The line was still set to go straight east at that point under Pitkin. By the time the US got involved in the war, Bway-East new York was all tiled and ready to go, but it lacked the tracks and signals. The station shells and tunnels east of there were all built, and ready for finishing, but the war effort made it impossible to add the signals and tracks as metal was not available. Construction stopped.
After the war, construction began again. By that time plans had changed, and they decided to go to Grant after Euclid.
But since the rest of the line WAS built, at least as shell, it's totally conceivable that part of 76th St was also built.
