Tbirdbassist Posted April 9, 2009 Share #51 Posted April 9, 2009 Let me know when you plan on going. I live relatively close. While that area is safer than it once was... it's still "Da East". You'd stick out like a big green thumb. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave160 Posted May 1, 2009 Share #53 Posted May 1, 2009 I know this is a bump, but to fuel my curiosity about the supposed 76th Street is this the wall that supposedly separates 76th street from the rest of the world at Pitkin Yard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbirdbassist Posted May 2, 2009 Share #54 Posted May 2, 2009 I believe so. There looks to be no more rail connectd to that bumper so that must be one of the two stubs that come from the Pitkin Yard leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave160 Posted May 2, 2009 Share #55 Posted May 2, 2009 It seems I have also stumbled upon more pics, I think. But first off, I found a NY Times Article with a guy saying to have tried to dig under the cinder block wall and almost succeeded till the hole caved in. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/21/nyregion/tunnel-vision-next-stop-twilight-zone-a-k-a-76th-st-station.html Digging equipment? The Cinder block wall More pics http://ltvsquad.com/Locations/urbanexploration.php?ID=197 http://ltvsquad.com/Locations/urbanexploration.php?ID=61 Im not definitely saying 76th street exists, but there's a lot of evidence of something there.

Tbirdbassist Posted May 2, 2009 Share #56 Posted May 2, 2009 I think we can safely say that there are tunnels and trackways up to where the station should be, since it's very obvious, and there's more than enough evidence to say that much.

UlmerPark B6 Posted May 2, 2009 Share #58 Posted May 2, 2009 I guess if there can be a train stong enough to break apart this cement-block wall, people may actually find trackage past this wall. The dirt may just be build up of stuff over the years. I can definently feel there is something past it. Why would you use, a million-dollar object to break a wall, if we don't know if it's true or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbirdbassist Posted May 3, 2009 Share #64 Posted May 3, 2009 Not the R-###'s, more like a train engine that is going to be demolished and run it at 100mph thru Euclid and ram the wall. Well, otherwise I'll stick with what MTR said. Oh yeah, I get what you want to do, ! Just hope the dynamite is strong enough to break the brick wall and hope the dynamite doesn't affect the surround walls. You must not know the power of dynamite.

Aqueduct Posted August 8, 2009 Share #66 Posted August 8, 2009 Sledgehammer, lump hammer, and a chisel. The wall looks like cinderblock, I have been able to expand holes in that type of brick with a pair of lineman's pliers. If the wall is completely solid (the filled the gaps with cement) use an electric powered hilti chipping gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share #67 Posted August 8, 2009 I doubt that they are filled with cement since someone has already made a hole in the wall near the roadbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqueduct Posted August 8, 2009 Share #68 Posted August 8, 2009 The chisel and lump hammer or sledge would go right through then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted August 9, 2009 Share #69 Posted August 9, 2009 Oh my gosh! I so need to see 76th Street. On the fan trip everyone thought the train was going to use the tracks that supposedly lead to 76th Street to relay, but used the Pitkin Yard leads instead. Oh well, maybe next time. Do any transit workers from here know about 76th Street? Anyone ever seen the alleged cinder block wall there? If so, any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any transit workers from here know about 76th Street? Anyone ever seen the alleged cinder block wall there? If so, any pics? We're not even sure if the station exists as one station. It's supposedly there, but there is no evidence of its true existence. It exists on paper for sure, but it's material existence is doubted. Joe Brennan's page on 76th Street is false. He himself, admit it was entirely fabricated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure all of us and the rest of the 8 million people living in New York could live without the existence of such a station or a need to solve "this mystery".

Those tracks dead end in a wall. Those were just "insider jokes" by the crew and a few knowledgeable riders. While there is some evidence the station exists, or has been partially constructed, there would certainly be no way to relay a train there. Just the crew kidding around and seeing if they could get a few buffs' attention to perk up. Clearly it succeeeded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
