Roll Up Doors on shuttle track between GCT and the Lex IRT

I was watching a video on YouTube, and was wondering what these roll up doors were for?

Is this where the money train goes to, or is this where the Garbage train dumps its load?

Just curious...

Might be access points to a substation or switchgear for electric power systems.

Money train platforms are around Jay Street, but that stopped running around the time 370 Jay stopped being HQ, garbage trains dump in the yard - 239th Street for that particular location

My source says they're likely freight elevators
