"Sunrise Highway" at the end is probably referring to Conduit Ave - aka where we know the wall is. Makes sense that the final piece (Euclid Av, Pitkin Yard, and leads) would be built together.

That fourth clipping is very interesting. "Present terminus at Pitkin avenue and Eighty-second street"? That's a hell of a statement for March of 1939, around the same time that work was known to be progressing on other parts of the extension as well. And why ask if it will be an open cut? Could it be a reference to ongoing cut-and-cover construction?

Is that why south of 36th st past the West End line turnout there seems to be a partial turnout ramp that decend literally under the West End turnout ramp?

Noticed it walking back to 36th st station after laying up a Romeo. Thought it was interesting.

Very interesting Union Tpke! Probably not adding any new info but I have layed up Charley's down there a time or two (the 4 tracks alleged to lead to 76 st NOT the yd leads/relay tcks) it is obvious that those 4 lay up tracks were meant to go further for a couple reasons.

1. The layup tracks are on a pretty steep decending grade. Usually planned layup tracks are level.
2. The tracks end in a wall but if my memory serves the wall at the end of those tracks don't exactly look like most other subway walls it has horizontal lines going across them it leads me to believe they are temporary (thats purely a guestimation on my part but really wall does look different) As for what or how much is allegedly past that wall I have no idea.
3. 76 st station is on the board in the Euclid dispatcher office I don't remember if it's on the board at Pitken he also but I think it is.

I can't say that I saw anything in the articles that suggests 76th was ever built or started. Just that it was planned, and that construction was completed to Euclid. I read through the "construction halted" articles hoping to find some mention of construction beyond Euclid but didn't see anything.

And the comments at the end of the long post about the utilities possibly building the tunnels as they were doing other work is just impossible. Building a subway tunnel costs a lot of money above and beyond the needs of the utility and is a major project. Where would that money have come from?

My skepticism aside, I don't dismiss the possibility that it exists. I passed through on my bike last summer to check it out and it still seems strange that Pitkin is wide enough for a 4 track subway underneath in that area. It wouldn't have been widened before the construction, but only as the result of the construction.

No. Crystal Street is west of the Euclid Avenue station, and the wall in question would have been removed sometime prior to Euclid opening in 1948.

Well, one of the things I didn't see mentioned in any of the articles is the through routing of Pitkin Av with Old South Rd east of Ruby St unless I missed it while reading the articles. As I had mentioned before in other threads, Pitkin Av ended at Ruby St which I believe was the boundary between Bkln and Queens. At some point probably as a part of the extension of the IND subway in that area. What appeared to be private property on some maps I’ve seen from the 1920s was cut through to make a continuous thoroughfare between Ruby St and points farther east and at that same time Old South Rd was renamed Pitkin Ave although some maps show a short portion of the Avenue still named “Old South Rd.” Depending on when the through routing of the street actually took place, it could be that it was done concurrently with the subway construction so that the open cut referred to would have been the construction of the subway infrastructure and the covering of it by a brand new street which had never existed in that area before.

Other agencies or even private companies building subway infrastructures in anticipation of future subway extensions is not necessarily uncommon. It could very well have been built by Con Edison using city funds allocated for that purpose but rather than the city having to come by a few years later and relocate the electrical work, it would have been more expedient to just give Con Ed the plans along with the funding and have the utility build the subway at the same time as the electrical work and then cover it over to await then rest of the subway to come along and connect to it. As I mentioned in other threads, similar construction was done in Wash Hts in Manhattan when PS 173 was being built. Rather than have the school and adjacent school yard underpinned due to subway construction, the Board of Ed or whatever agency was responsible for school construction at the time built the infrastructure for 174 St Yd several years before the rest of the subway and the yard leads were merely connected to an already completed infrastructure.

Just for giggles, when I was younger, I'd often see manhole covers marked "Empire City Subway" and wondered where the entrances to the token booths were. Year later, working for the NYPSC, I discovered that Empire City had their own tunnels which were leased out to utilities for cables, water, gas and other purposes. Utilities have tunnels too, no trains. :)

That would square nicely with tax map research I did a while back. I wasn't able to find any easements on the Queens side of Pitkin Av (there were plenty on the Brooklyn side, usually the subway abutting a few feet into private property, especially for stations).

But I hadn't considered that Pitkin Av might have been built as the subway roof. If the city already owned the land for the subway, there's no need to get an easement. The new lots along Pitkin would have been drawn appropriately outside the subway borders.

1924 Aerial map from NYPL. Looks like Old South Rd was a dirt road - and didn't directly connect to Pitkin. The connection and improvement of Pitkin Av easily could have been done as part of the IND construction.

I read that at least three times, but it is still ambiguous. The question sounds as if the construction already started out to 82nd St. but the answer states that it was only budgeted out to Grant in 1939, the time of the article. Maybe then the suspicions that the work was started without full authorization are true, or maybe the utility was doing work out there and this was mistaken to be subway work, or maybe they were building the subway as suggested (that I don't believe myself).

The problem with newspaper articles is that many reporters are notorious for reporting inaccurate information. Many years ago, the daily news published an article that was supposed to be about the NYW&B. The article was so full of misinformation it was almost laughable. The article referred to the RR as the “Boston and Westchester” and stated that it was intended to run between E180 St and Dyre Av which is the present length of the NYCTA Dyre Av Line. Not only did the article get the name of the RR wrong but it made no mention whatsoever of the rest of the route originating at Harlem river or the remainder of the 2 branches that extended into Westchester County. The point is, since most reporters don’t have the exhaustively encyclopedic knowledge necessary to write intelligent articles the accuracy of many of them is highly suspect.

Whether Old South Rd was a dirt road or not, the aerial map I saw which may well have been the same one you saw definitely shows that Old South Rd did not connect to Pitkin. The problem I encountered was that the next aerial photo I was able to find was from 1950 when Pitkin already ran through so I wasn’t able to find exactly when Pitkin was connected to Old South Rd.

I suspect that the 76th St area is filled with watery muck. Then what? Who would pay to clean it out, if necessary?

I have to ask this, why not try and locate the contractors or ask original residents if they are still residinging there if they even know if there was subway tunnel built there, along pitkn avenue area of Ozone Park? Plus I know it is a tunnel with station, there are no pictures of vehicles or construction equipment to document what was going on? I am sure there has to be something. Or listen just ask the MTA to produce the answer I am sure they know, what is there.

Better yet ask the local representatives,Joseph P. Adabbo or Eric Ulrich of the area to try and find out.

There probably aren’t any residents still living there who were there at the time of construction and based on photos of the area there probably weren’t any residents living in the immediate area at all.

Once again, GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) will do the trick. We've now established that whatever we're looking for is about 35 to 40 feet below if there's anything. GPR would be able to spot any iron or rebar down there. And they're fairly cheap to rent. Talent to read the data not included.
