I didn't clarify myself. Apparently, there was a phantom station
somewhere out in Brooklyn, the existence of which the relevant
authorities have denied.

Ah! I don't think that's analogous to what was in the film. But it's still
interesting (more so!) - can you tell us any more?


I read about it on nyc.transit.

Apparently there was a station that either opened up, but closed a few days
later or it was projected and half built. I'm not sure what the situation
is with that.


I think you are referring to the *76th* Street station:

After reading the page be sure to look at the date.


1948, you mean?

Hesgadin. It was in two parts - both of them silent. I remember this map
came with a letter accusing me of stealing eggs. I had never understood
the relationship of the map to the accusation. I still don't, but I'm
grateful for the map.
