Re: [PHOTOS:] PITKIN AVE-- PROFF?? (Was - Re: Fulton Street Subway)

As is generally accepted, Pitkin/Old South Road was widened at some point in anticipation of subway construction, and maybe what you are seeing is the last steps of the widening. It is 1940 in these photos, and in 1940 they'd only built out to Bway/ENY, and hadn't finished that station either and trains terminated at Rockaway Avenue. They still needed to build out to Euclid Ave at that point, and then beyond, and this did not occur in 1940 but only after the war. This timeline more than anything convinced me years ago that 76th St was a myth.
