The IND only built one line in The Bronx—the Concourse Line. The lonely northern home of today’s D and (sometimes) B lines, the line (which runs under Grand Concourse) is underutilized as are arguably all of the IND lines. There is but one provision for the IND Second System on the Concourse Line, being the location, layout, and track area surrounding the 205th St station (the northern terminal).

The line was originally planned to continue east after turning from the north between Bedford Park Blvd and 205th St, and would have gone out to where Co-Op City is now. However, the extension never came, and so the line’s capacity is limited by the rather odd track layout at this station (with trains forced to pull into the tail tracks to reverse).

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.
