Several other things about this tunnel.when I was a kid[11 or 12] I first noticed the pocket at 66th ave was OPEN,no concrete wall.there is an emergency exit where the tunnel first turns off.in the middle 1950`s at this exit was a big blue&white sign stating"motormen beware,dead end"when I started with the T.A.in 1964 I asked a signal maintainer who had started with the orignal IND about this & several other pockets around the system.he told me a train used to be stored in it.at 63rd.drive the structure at the end of the queensbound end was to be a tower& S/M`S quarters.It is unknown if any equipment was ever installed.He also worked pitkin yard&WAS in 76st several times.if any of the naysayers on this board say this ain`t so,KISS MY ASS!this is a verbal history of some parts of the system that have been lost to history. |
