INDman Posted July 15, 2009 Share #26 Posted July 15, 2009 Well this is new. I never noticed it before.... It's not new nor is it an unused track way.

MTR Admiralty Posted July 15, 2009 Share #27 Posted July 15, 2009 I think there is also one just east of the 63rd Drive-Rego Park station on the & . Yes there is, it was intended to go to the Rockaways or something. This can be inferred by the tablets there. And do me a favour, can you not double post several times in a row just to bring up your post count? I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but it's better for other readers if you keep your thoughts into one post. If you have more, click the edit button.

MAA89 Posted July 19, 2009 Share #28 Posted July 19, 2009 read this question word for word before attacking then you won't sound ludacris. please lets be civilized boys alot of time on your hands to attack on a computer. lets see youBoys pull that off in public!:mad: I am being very clam, I was simply saying thatthe area north of Jay Street is open space. I did not see that the OP also wanted unused track ways and how is anything I said ludacris? Where was the attack and why is it so important anyway? Off-topic, but I assume you two meant "ludicrous" and not Ludacris the rapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted July 22, 2009 Share #36 Posted July 22, 2009 Between 7th Avenue and Church Avenue on the and . There is a bellmouth on the express tracks level, which would be the start of a line to run down Ft. Hamilton Pkwy, and eventually going to Staten Island. This one has never been confermed, I have seen it and it looks more like a structural oddity then a bellmouth. A bellmouth south of the West Fourth Street–Washington Square station on the and trains, next to the Queens-bound local track. This one is not a bellmouth, it is open space because the 8th Ave local tracks are above it.

There are plans under the Second System for a subway travelling under Fort Hamilton Parkway going straight to Staten Island. Another spur would terminate at 86th Street in Brooklyn.

A bellmouth south of the West Fourth Street–Washington Square station on the and trains, next to the Queens-bound local track. This one is not a bellmouth, it is open space because the 8th Ave local tracks are above it. It is a bellmouth, not a "open space". It's before the merge onto the 8th Avenue line local tracks. This bellmouth is at the curve in the IND 6th Avenue subway from under Houston Street to 6th Avenue. Now when you say found, do you mean that you have personally seen them or have you just read or been told about them? I have personally seen them, and by looking at some pictures of them on the web.
