First see this:

The four track line simply ends abruptly NE of Euclid. Very unlike for example the turn around after 179th Jamaica. I'm guessing that it was intended to continue but didn't get built.
Where was it supposed to go?
Did they just run out of money and connect to the end of the Fulton Street El instead? Or was it preparation for part of the second system? Or something else?
Related questions: How were end of the line turns at Euclid originally handled? How were short turns at Euclid handled in more recent times? I have a vague maybe false childhood memory of it being the last stop on the local track.
