When the Fulton St Line was extended to Euclid and opened in 1948, I think the intention was to have the IND take over the LIRR going toward the Rockaways. Isn't it why 10 years beforehand when the Queeens Blvd line was opened there was the provision after 63 Drive that would have went on the same line going to the same place?

However with the increased costs of building a subway, it was decided to just have the next expansion on the line go to just Lefferts Blvd. And the connection to the LIRR would be made at Liberty Ave instead of Pitkin Ave.
