I have seen some proposals for the eventual connection between Chambers St and the Montague St Tunnel and they indicate that the line was always intended to operate under Nassau St. Both tracks of the Nassau St Line as originally proposed would have swung under the ramp to the Bkln Br and used the present J-1 and J-3 tracks and continued back to Bkln via the Manny B. Additionally, when the Montague St tunnel was constructed, the bellmouths for the connection to the new line were lined up in such a way that Nassau St would have been the street to be used anyhow. Although the tiles on Broad and Fulton Sts of the Nassau St line were built to IND design, the present tiles that replaced them were taken from BRT/BMT drawings of the proposed stations and had the line been intended to be located under William St, then Broad St station would not have existed since S/O Nassau St the line is actually located lengthwise under Broad St. |
