The Archer Ave extension was the MTA’s 1970s incarnation of some old IND Second System plans. The line extended the E line from a new branch past the Briarwood station, down via the Van Wyck, and then east via Archer Ave (also with an extension of the nearby BMT Jamaica Line under Archer Ave on the lower level), and with new stations at Van Wyck, Sutphin, and Parsons.
The 1970s style of tunnel construction bears much more resemblance to today’s techniques than the original IND construction does. One of the more visually appealing features of this extension are the areas constructed via deep bore with the tunneling shield technique, as pictured here.
The Second System Gems Collection exhibits 32 1/1 photos captured in the NYC Subway. My passion is to document seldom-seen areas underground, especially those of historical interest. I see the beauty of these dark and dirty spaces, these places that were meant for something more. I coined the phrase Second System Gems for these particular spots, known as provisions, which were built for the city-owned IND to accommodate a future Second System. The First System includes many major subway lines in NYC, but the Second System would have more than doubled the size of the subway. The provisions vary widely, with massive station mezzanines, platforms, and trackways spread throughout the system. If the Second System were to be built, these would be used to expand the capacity of current lines and connect to new ones without rebuilding existing infrastructure. But, for now, they lie hidden, a huge reserve of untapped potential.
