QuarioQuario54321 They say “Mind the gap” in London

Brayan DePaula4 They also do in Hong Kong and Singapore

@@QuarioQuario54321 No the exact version in Hong Kong through.

Gap? Geez it’s more like a chasm!

it's mostly closed. however, MTA does offer many tours throughout the year (expensive, $50/person).

Thats impossible

Let's ask Fan Railer to make it run with OpenBVE.

It would not even fit in IRT tunnels

Literally half of the train would be breaking the platform and the other half would be going through the wall 😂

How about an r10 lol 😂😂

As is most stations in the summer

Truu

Truu also

yea, no AC and no cell phone service in the metro.

I thought it was abandoned after 9-11 because it is right below City Hall and would be an obvious target for a bombing.

OneMansPOV it was abandoned before the towers were even built

OneMansPOV what are you on

The station was abandoned because it was old. The station and track was on a curved loop, causing there to be a massive platform gap between the station and the train. The station is also now too short for public service, as it can't fit all the subway train cars. The station was meant for City Hall access, but they no longer have a need for a station to City Hall. Therefore, it was sealed off from the public and can only be visible on the City Hall loop tracks, where Lexington Avenue local tracks end and loop back around. This is the only way for trains to get to the other platform, so they always bypass this abandoned stations. You can catch a glimpse of it if you take the train around the loop, as long as you don't get caught riding on the train. You can also go on tours ran by the New York Transit Museum to check the station out yourself.

The station was abandoned because of its very little use. The express stations were more closer so people went there instead and due to train cars getting longer the platform was an issue so in 1945 they abandoned the station. Its legal to ride through the loop at anytime although some of my fellow transit workers may be misinformed and may say something it is not against the law to ride the train through the loop.

Jeremy Naraine lmao

It because the trains are in use but the city hall station isn't in use anymore, The Trains only go past the station to turn around and go back the other way.

Joseph Bennett But People Are specifically told to get off at the real last stop.

Cause people want to see the station

@@phinzo7885 The MTA allows people to stay on the train through the City Hall loop.

You mean curve

And yes it is. I almost died on the train with the movement

Bet people would fall in the gap😂😂

Once they try to get in the train lol😂🤣

It's the last stop, beyond brooklyn bridge. the curve allows the train to u-turn and head back uptown.

Like 386 bus route takes a u turn at the end of roads in singapore

Yep. 4 trains were not going to brooklyn. Meaning it had to go to the bronx via the city hall loop

those Yellow Poles are also found on R160s

I saw a R46 4 car set with refurbishments

I believe this was a weekend G.O where 4 trains were not running south of BB - City Hall.

@R143 R160 R188 MTA Fan i know but there were like multiple W trains in brooklyn more than usual

RockosBlockTalk A tour sponsored by the Transit Museum

True it is abandoned so the train dont stop people could just look at the train pass

Same but i don't stop there

Sharon Watkins Yes. There is.

It wouldn’t fit Lmao. The lettered cars can’t fit into the IRT (numbered cars) tunnels. August Belmont who headed the IRT in the early 20th century made his tunnels smaller on purpose so nobody else could infiltrate them. The track gauge is still the standard 4 feet 8 1/2 inches on the IRT and the BMT/IND.

Just beyond Brooklyn Bridge - City Hall but before Fulton Street. The track for the 6 (and the 4 for today) goes on a turn, that turn turns into a loop, then it goes back to Brooklyn Bridge - City Hall. This station was open from October 27, 1904 to December 31, 1945.

Sorry for the negative comment but damn dude 😂😂

Here in London we have Many curved platforms, such as Embankment, Bank, Victoria, Waterloo... Just to name a few but these platforms aren't curved severely like City Hall Station.

Yea

An emergency exit hatch

There's an entrance in City Hall Park they use for the museum tours. It has the original stairs and everything but it's usually locked up of course.

Malcolm Xavier It is the turnback track..

Yes it takes you from brooklyn bridge and it loops around going back to the bronx

stay on a southbound 6 after it terminates (you’re not really supposed to do this but just stay in the car and you’ll be safe) or go on a fan trip with the NYTM. it’s used as a loop for the 6 (and sometimes the 4) to turn back around towards the Bronx.

Service disruptions. This happens every once in a while on the 2, 3, 4, and 5 (I’ve had my fair share of 4 trains being local East of Nevins Street when there’s no 3 service in Brooklyn)

Service changes some times

It depends when construction is going on. Sometimes the 4 trains go through there too. The 5 never will because when construction is going on they usually run the 5 shuttle trains between Dyre Ave and E 180 street in the Bronx. And the 5 on regular days uses the inner South Ferry Loop to turn around after terminating at Bowling Green.

POVHFR Videos South Ferry is just as good

@@basictransportenthusiast4386 Oooo Yes!! This video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idZmg9NlrrSZYoU.html Every time 'she' takes off is so sexy...

HQRobloxandBlocksWorldandMinecraft the New York transit museum does tours of this station a few times a year. They use a special train that lets people off at the station. However they put gap filters for safety.

@R143 R160 R188 MTA Fan (4) Trains runs express in Lex. Ave. They won't be able to go City Hall since, first of all, (6) Trains runs local; second, there are no tracks to access to City Hall from express. Probably there are some construction forced (4) to (6).

jonathan chan actually they can make the (4) run on the local track with the (6) so that way, the (4) can access the city hall station. This mainly happens during weekend construction however

They used different trains back in the day and IIRC the track has been adjusted as well since as it's only used for a turnaround loop.

Cuz it was trash lol. Low ridership usage, really (cuz who wants to go to City Hall in particular), as well as that awful curve making large gaps in the entrances. It's a gorgeous station, but it was discontinued for a reason.

the 4 sometimes terminates at either Wall Street, bowling green, or city hall. it happens very frequently, and ive seen it about six times since i started taking it to work

Never they were converted to r188s and are on the 7 now

And other R142A’s went to the 4

peter marrero Why do you care?

I’m just joking lol 😅😅😅
