"There is a BMT station in Brooklyn ABOVE the local tracks on the ‘R’ between DeKalb Ave. and Pacific St. (northbound). It was built but never used."

How about a built, but never used fare controls at the 36th St station further down 4th Ave ? I was told it exists and was abandoned when the West End Line was tied into the 4th Ave subway. The original 36th St. station ended south of the current station where the ramp to the West End Line is today. You'll notice the tiles and mosaics when switching over from the express track to the middle. I've seen it. I was told this by a current T/O who is on the level.

Another mystery ?
