I remember when this was still in use back in the 80’s!!

@@paddy7812 They shut down facilities, while they are complaining at the same time that they don't have enough money to open a much needed station in the 11th avenue on the 7 line extension.

@@gmicg I know right!!🤬

What train came through this level?

@@GillesCasanova1804 For the most part, the platform only served the “Aqueduct (Racetrack) Express,” an extra fare ride with very limited stops to the racetrack on race days. For a brief time in the late 1960’s, E trains would stop there during morning rush hours.

@@JeffFrmJoisey dope history, thanks Jeff!! 😎👌🏾❤️

@@JeffFrmJoisey ok, cool. Thanks... eas there a K train that passed through there at one point?

Which trains did stop there when it was in use? I am curious to know.

wow!!!

Ken Hasard! ret.C/R Nunez here. As a teen living in Chelsea, I remember that station for the Aqueduct special. Good to hear from ya. Teach these kids a little history.

@@JoseNunez-hh1yr I think retirement is the best job I ever had LOL. I hope all is well with you and you are enjoying your retirement as much as I am.

It can’t because they spilt it in half because for the 7 extension

When I worked nights about 15 years ago or so, we removed the track, and the switch which allowed trains to go downstairs. Before the 7 line extension was thought of ,we used clean the station, once it a while when assigned.

Tracks and switch was removed at the 50th street end

@@SoWickedCrow Removed at both ends. D3 Tk. came out and merged with A3 Tk (and a crossover to A1) just north of of 34th St. There was a separate signal tower for that interlocking plant as well, just south of 42nd St.

@@W2IRT thanks for the info ,I never had the opportunity to work the other end. Come to think about it, it was done before I ever got there, never noticed : )

😂😂 you said homeless ghost. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is the station and platform used in the movie, additional shots were made on a soundstage.

Back when movies were film in a real life setting and not inside a studio

I believe that Roosevelt Avenue trackway you're referring to was built in anticipation of extending the QBL to the Rockaways using a new right-of-way to get to the existing LIRR tracks and continuing on that line. It was part of the so-called "Second System" designed in 1929 before the depression and never carried further. At one time, there was a stub terminal at Roosevelt Ave., complete with a tiled wall. There are also fly-overs where "through trains" would have gone directly to the Rockaways.

Send Putler a letter complaining on how the war is wasting tax dollars. See how much of a difference that will make. Not that you really care as your high SUS Russian bot.

They are slave trains getting us to provide labor to the super weathy

As long as Ukraine needs it to defeath a fascist bully like Putin. (Once he's out of power there won't be $ to hand to his US mouthpieces in the GOP). You want the parks to be better? Go volunteer to help clean one up (and then send some $ to Ukraine to help the good guys!) PS: Stop watching Tucker Carlson - he's poison for your brain.

While not fully demolished, the 7 train extension to Hudson Yards runs right through it.

@@davezanko9051 no it dont😂

@@Noturbex I will say out of all of the abandoned stations. (Which I haven't explored any except the City Hall station on a tour) I would say this, Nevins Street, and City Hall lower level might be the hardest to get into

bc thats an office and they need to copy stuff

All that steel dust on it 🤧

To do what? The station was severed by the extension of the 7 train to Hudson Yards.

@@davezanko9051 They can find a way

​​@@nathanielnelson8138 Unless it involves constructing another tunnel, it is not possible to renovate the platforms. The 7 train to 34th St / Hudson Yds runs through part of that platform.

lol tune in my channel

yea

Your a snitch for the transit police

I was just thinking you can drag somebody down there and the last thing they might hear is a train full of people that don't even know your there. Nope

nah nobody knows about these places lol so

this why i dont tell people how to get in

​@mymomsucksful You have to walk from 50th street.

i don't think so; see my comment above

Yup. Ghost was filmed at 42nd Street lower level, back in October-November 1989.

They'd need some bloody good soundproofing lol!!

theres 2 mosiac 42 ST signs left sadly the others have gotten colored over

mosaic*

Now you do!

we got our ways

@@Noturbex Thats awesome man

​@thepurplemyth You can walk on the tracks from 50th street.

Probably not because it doesn't connect to the 7 line anywhere - plus the IND/BMT train cars (like the ones that ran thru this station) are wider than the IRT ones; they're too big for the IRT tunnels. (Fun fact: the track guages are identical, the tunnel widths nope.)

@@joestrike8537 All I remember was going downstairs at the 42st shuttle. Hell, it was 58 years ago and I was 17.

na its called a mask if you didnt know 😝🤣

Ind

It's pretty easy to find. The trap door with the stairs down to the lower level is right in the floor of the upper level downtown platform. Getting down there without getting in trouble is the hard part.

yesirr

Yeah. After the MTA stopped the infrequent use of this station for actual service they would use it as a filming location occasionally, mostly because it still had old style signage. Can't do that anymore as there's no track connection anymore.

Would like c serect subway

yes i been there going soon to film

From Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/57th_Street%E2%80%93Seventh_Avenue_station Proposed extension North of this station are tunnel stub headings running straight from the local tracks[24] for a proposed line under Central Park West or Morningside Avenue, that would have terminated either at 145th Street or 155th Street. When the BRT / BMT was building the Broadway line as part of the Dual Contracts, the company also wanted to be awarded the Central Park West / Eighth Avenue route, which was on the planning boards at that time. The company figured that if they built ramps from the Broadway line that could naturally be extended to an Eighth Avenue line, they would get a toehold on being awarded that line, rather than lose out to the IRT, the only other subway operator when the Dual Contracts were built.[25] The BMT / BRT never built that line for various reasons including the bankruptcy of the company after the Malbone Street Wreck and Mayor Hylan's plan to include the Eighth Avenue / CPW route in the IND system. The ramps were built but never used for revenue service. They were eventually used for storage until the tracks were disconnected. The disused trackways for the proposed line ramp up and run for about 500 feet (150 m). The ramp on the northbound side has a Maintenance-of-Way shed built on it,[26] and the trackway on the southbound side also has a storage shed sitting in it, just north of where the local tracks come in, but this shed is few hundred feet north of the shed on the opposite trackway of the other side of the tunnel. Some of the actual rails remain and can be seen from passing express/63rd Street Line trains, but are covered by many years of dirt. The never-used trackways curve slightly west before ending

na

no idea

@@Noturbex lol!

It would just make it a haven for drug use and human feces all over the place.

then why i haven’t got im trouble

yea

still there cuz i was there 3 days ago

The station is only bisected not destroyed. Can't be destroyed fully because it support the local track above. The 7 Train Tunnel however eats up the other half of the station.

@@Noturbex gotcha .. do you know how to get down here though? Might wanna get some flicks 📸

@@Mayaisawesome91 Just walk from 34th Street Penn (8th Av Platfroms) you should see a track diverging from the southbound local track and going deeper, then that’s your track.

Yea this looks cool imma need directions

true

@@Noturbex mta don't go down there often huh.

This lower level was never really used much, as it's redundant to the main downtown platform right above. When the 7 train was extended it went right through this lower level so it can't be used again.

Do you think they can utilize other abandoned stations and if the other can't be used again, do you think they can find a purpose for that space?

@@davezanko9051 Yes it can

​@@nathanielnelson8138How?

bro i had to make sure they wasn’t workers 🤦cuz i never went there till now

@@Noturbex : It looked like there were still tracks there...or was I mistaken?

@@Noturbex that's ok. Saw some on wiki. Scariest places I've been as a Flagger was up on the Williamsburg bridge(Trains go by at 5 mph, 6in from your nose)and up against the side of the bottom of Steinway tube(7 line). Got rid of some fears, picked up others.

Good work. Be careful. Respect the rail⚡😯

yed

no

Nah, doubt that. With the 7 running through the track way to 34th, I can't see it ever being used again.

Um....HELL NO. The station is literally cut in half and the 7 train blasts right through it.

@@PhantomThiefOfSports The NY Transit museum could make it another annex...

@@jayo1212 Will need extensive cleanup tho.

The only thing I can see it being used for is for copy machine storage.

Dumb comment. The reason it looks like that is because it's...I don't know...ABANDONED.

That's dumb. The track is no longer useable because of the Hudson Yards extension of the 7 train that took half of the platform.

idc

cry about it

🤦‍♂️🤣
