I'm certain possibility 2 is the correct assumption: A7/A8 branched off from the yard leads at Belmont Av. However, buildings on the south side of Pitkin Av between Grant Av and Forbell St were built in the 1920s and the NYC Digital Tax Map does not show any easement allowing A7/A8 to pass under them, so A7/A8 were never built beyond North or South Conduit Blvd. They were definitely intended to merge with "Main" tracks A1 to A4 from above near Drew St, but I doubt if the A1/A4 tunnel was built that far east. |
