It was not the MTA, but the City of NY that built those bellmouths for eventual connection to the Rockaway Line long before either the MTA or the NYCTA was even though of and there are reports that the ends of those bellmouths are actually false walls and the tunnels from the IND actually extend all the way to the LIRR ROW. Until a few years ago, on the Jamaica bound side of the mezzanine of the 65 Station near the N/E stairways, there was tilework which said "To Jamaica and Rockaway" with the words "and Rockaway" painted over but still visible from the appropriate angle. I haven't been there in many years so I'm not sure if the tilework is still there or whether it has been covered over by one of those new MTA style enamel signs. |
