We've discussed this here before. The 145th Street station has nothing...nada...to do with the length of #3 trains being nine cars long. The reason has been the configuration of Lenox Yard. Some of the tracks can't hold 10-car trains. This has been solved (normal schedule-wise, not the current service pattern due to the World Trade Center's destruction) by storing some #3 trains at E. 180th Street Yard and starting them at E. 180th Street in the morning (weekdays). At night, the same number of trains (not the same trainsets) drop off their passengers at 96th Street and run light to the yard. If memory serves, it's four trainsets.
