Up until the 1960s, many distinct plans for the Second Avenue subway line were never carried out, though small segments were built in the 1970s. The complex reasons for these delays are why the line has been called "the line that time forgot".<a href="#cite_note-nymag-Sargent-1">[1]</a> The line was originally proposed in 1920 as part of a <a href="/wiki/Proposed_expansion_of_the_New_York_City_Subway#1929–1939_plans" title="Proposed expansion of the New York City Subway">massive expansion</a> of what would become the <a href="/wiki/Independent_Subway_System" title="Independent Subway System">Independent Subway System</a> (IND). The <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression" title="Great Depression">Great Depression</a> crushed the original proposal, and lack of funds scuttled numerous revivals throughout the 20th century. Meanwhile, the <a href="/wiki/Elevated_railway" title="Elevated railway">elevated lines</a> along <a href="/wiki/IRT_Second_Avenue_Line" title="IRT Second Avenue Line">Second Avenue</a> and <a href="/wiki/IRT_Third_Avenue_Line" title="IRT Third Avenue Line">Third Avenue</a>, which the Second Avenue Line was intended to replace, were respectively demolished in 1942 and 1955, leaving the <a href="/wiki/IRT_Lexington_Avenue_Line" title="IRT Lexington Avenue Line">Lexington Avenue Subway</a> as the only <a href="/wiki/Rapid_transit" title="Rapid transit">rapid transit</a> line on much of Manhattan's east side. Construction of tunnels began in 1972 as part of the <a href="/wiki/Program_for_Action" title="Program for Action">Program for Action</a>, but was halted in 1975 because of the city's <a href="/wiki/New_York_City_1970s_fiscal_crisis" class="mw-redirect" title="New York City 1970s fiscal crisis">fiscal crisis</a>, with only a few short segments of tunnel having been completed. Meanwhile, construction of the 63rd Street Lines, which would connect the Second Avenue Line and the <a href="/wiki/IND_Queens_Boulevard_Line" title="IND Queens Boulevard Line">IND Queens Boulevard Line</a> to the <a href="/wiki/BMT_Broadway_Line" title="BMT Broadway Line">BMT Broadway Line</a> and the <a href="/wiki/IND_Sixth_Avenue_Line" title="IND Sixth Avenue Line">IND Sixth Avenue Line</a>, began in 1969. The first segment of the 63rd Street Lines, which opened on October 29, 1989, included provisions for future connections to the Second Avenue Line. When the <a href="/wiki/Construction_of_the_Second_Avenue_Subway" title="Construction of the Second Avenue Subway">construction of the Second Avenue Subway</a> finally commenced in the 21st century, the Lexington Avenue Line was by far the busiest subway line in the United States, with an estimated 1.3 million daily riders in 2015.

The same year, the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Public_Service_Commission" title="New York Public Service Commission">New York Public Service Commission</a> launched a study at the behest of engineer Daniel L.

It was now going to connect to a <a href="/wiki/Tenth_Avenue_(Manhattan)" title="Tenth Avenue (Manhattan)">Tenth Avenue</a> trunk line as well as to crosstown lines in the Bronx and Queens. The Second Avenue Subway was still a six-track line through Manhattan, except for a short eight-track tunnel at its junction with the Queens lines. The plan called for a connection to the <a href="/wiki/IND_Concourse_Line" title="IND Concourse Line">IND Concourse Line</a> in the Bronx, as well as another one to the <a href="/wiki/IND_Fulton_Street_Line" title="IND Fulton Street Line">IND Fulton Street Line</a> in Brooklyn.

A study was undertaken to determine whether an alternative route would reduce costs. Adoption of the alternate route would have required a new Route and General Plan. As part of the alternative plan, this transfer station was eliminated from the plan due to high environmental problems and high costs. Instead, the line would diverge from the original route from a location 150 feet (46 m) north of the Harlem River bulkhead, would swing eastward, passing through the <a href="/wiki/Willis_Avenue_Bridge" title="Willis Avenue Bridge">Willis Avenue Bridge</a> piers, underneath the <a href="/wiki/Penn_Central_Transportation_Company" title="Penn Central Transportation Company">Penn Central</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Harlem_River_Yards" title="Harlem River Yards">Harlem River Yard</a> and between the Triboro Bridge piers. Then the line would head north, entering an open cut, before using two unused tracks in the vicinity of Willow Avenue and East 132nd Street, using the Penn Central's bridges and embankments to return to the original route at East 141st Street.

The original route would have displaced five commercial properties while the alternative would have required the relocation of tracks and warehouse platforms in the yard. The downside of the alternative was that it would not provide a transfer in the South Bronx between the Pelham Line and the Second Avenue Line, preventing Second Avenue passengers from directly accessing Pelham Line stations between Brook Avenue and Longwood Avenue.

A majority of the section, 12,400 feet (3,800 m), would be constructed using cut-and-cover, with the remainder, 6,700 feet (2,000 m) using tunnel boring machines. Tunnel boring machines were to have been employed to construct the sections between East 32nd Street and East 7th Street, and Wall Street and Whitehall Street. The alignment for this portion of the line would have been via Second Avenue, Chrystie Street, Chatham Square, Saint James Place, and Water Street to the terminal near Water Street and Whitehall Street. The line would have consisted of two tracks, with layup tracks to insure operational reliability.<a href="#cite_note-New_York_Daily_News_1973-42">[40]</a> Pine-Wall and Whitehall Street stations would both have four tracks (two platform levels with two tracks each) in order to increase the capacity of the Whitehall Street terminal above 30 trains per hour to 40 trains per hour, and to improve passenger flow.<a href="#cite_note-Rt132C-PhaseI-1973-39">[37]</a> One platform would be used for Queens-bound service, while the other would be for Bronx-bound service.

The route was a compromise; a year earlier the board vetoed the Second Avenue Line proposal, and instead proposed that the main line go eastward from East 17th Street onto Avenue A and then curve onto the regular route at Chatham Square. The NYCTA said that it would cost $55 million more than a direct line and the transfer at Grand Street would have been lost. In addition, less riders would have been diverted from the Lexington Avenue Line under this scheme.<a href="#cite_note-51">[49]</a> Two services were planned to use the loop.

There would also have been a shuttle between those two stations.<a href="#cite_note-52">[50]</a> By 1971, officials had still not confirmed any of the line's stations. The MTA was planning to only add thirteen stops along the line in Manhattan, with six of these above 34th Street; by comparison, the parallel Lexington Avenue Line had 23 stops in Manhattan, of which twelve were above 33rd Street. The reasoning behind this was to give faster service to riders from the Bronx and Queens, from where trains would funnel into either the new Second Avenue mainline or the existing <a href="/wiki/IND_Sixth_Avenue_Line" title="IND Sixth Avenue Line">Sixth Avenue</a> and <a href="/wiki/BMT_Broadway_Line" title="BMT Broadway Line">Broadway Lines</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Cohen_1971-44">[42]</a>: 37  Disagreements over the number and location of stations were still ongoing, with <a href="/wiki/New_York_(magazine)" title="New York (magazine)">New York Magazine</a> advising readers to "get community support" if they wanted a station to be built in their vicinity.<a href="#cite_note-Cohen_1971-44">[42]</a>: 38  The dispute over the Second Avenue Subway applied between several disparate groups.
