Knox/Henderson
It's more than a rumor, the box for the station is there. (Box is same as Cityplace) And is setup as an emergency exit. (Exit near Willis street at the NB 75) You can actually see the plywood/concrete blocks where they walled it off from the tracks if you look out the windows closely, pay attention to elevation it's actually the lowest point in the tunnel.
Edit to add, you can even easily find one of the vents at the NE corner of Willis and Central. (across from the La Quinta.)
*Long ago when the line first opened you could actually see the roughed in box before it was closed up.
