From wikipedia, so if anyone has better information on this:59th Street (Fourth Avenue Line) "Immediately south of the station, one can see tunnel stub headings running straight from the local tracks. They run for about 150 feet and would have been for a line to Staten Island via the Staten Island Tunnel under The Narrows, which was aborted by Mayor Hylan before it was completed. There is a Maintenance of Way shed that was built on the southbound trackway. The northbound trackway is unobstructed, albeit much darker. The northbound trackway ends on a brick wall, with evidence of some sort of space beyond." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/59th_Street_%28BMT_Fourth_Avenue_Line%29 |
