It was one track bidirectional express service. The 76th st subway tunnel would have connected to the QB local under Broadway and Steinway...[there is rumored there is a IND tunnel under that street built for that purpose,now used by the NYPD] The 63rd st tunnel/subway joined to two separate routes at 41av and Northern Blvd.. What missing is the Northern Blvd station that would have sat exactly where they are constructing the LIRR tunnel under that street. |
