Way better than buzzfeed's shit video. They just took the train through and got some dark blurry shots of the ceiling.

This stations was built to be the "flagship station" of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company. It is like no other station in the system. The architecture and tile work are unlike any of the other stations and would be impossible to replicate at any price. It is a true jewel of the system. It had to be taken out of service because the trains got longer in number of cars and in length of each car. I guess the Transit Museum does run occasional tours through the station. It is unfortunate that it can't be reopened for regular use or as an offshoot of the Transit Museum.

This and the 91st station are the two oldest existing stations in the entire system if I remember correctly. All the older stuff was built over and demolished. This is the nicest of all stations active and abandoned.. I use to go here all the time in the 90s.. There is some stuff older but it's just service rooms.

Looks to be pretty clean for being closed since 1945. Must be monitored from time to time, I would feel like homeless people would love it if they discovered this

finally a good vid on city hall station. nice video.

Looks to be in great shape for something that has been closed for so many years.

I love that station so much. It's so unique, interesting and full of history. Too bad it's not in use anymore. Wish it was and the line would be used by shorter subway cars.

Excellent, I've always wanted to see City Hall Station. In better shape than I thought for having been closed 80 years ago. Obviously they're somewhat maintaining it, at least changing lightbulbs. I was surprised all the lights are on, including the now 120 year old chandeliers.

Who came here from buzzfeed?

That's crazy how quiet it is down there knowing how loud it is up there. Badass video👌

ITS IN great shape / condition for not being "used" for all these years.... they might as well make it some trendy type cafe or food hub... l

Wow ya finally made 2 city hall...1 of the best & my most favorite Abandoned Station in NYC...that camera has good freaking high quality! It records so live & Perfect

I find it really interesting the the station is very curved resembling the stations on the London underground to a certain extent, it looks a lot like the circle and h&c platform at bakerstreet

Thats the cleanest subway station I've ever seen!!

You guys are braver than I am. I wouldn't risk being arrested for trespassing, and I sure wouldn't walk down the tracks from the Brooklyn Bridge station to get to this station.

Wow this is cool for all the people around the world who will never get to visit New York you are sharing with them and that’s special. I hope you keep doing videos

This is on my bucket list! Thank you for sharing...

Beautiful thanks! That last shot of the train made the ceiling look like the Aurora borealis.

I’ve been curious about this station. Thanks for doing this!!

I wished they still use this station as the 6’s terminal again. It looks really cool.

Back in the 1990s when I first moved to NYC out of business school, you could actually ride the 6 train as it turned around to head back north through the City Hall loop. They stopped that in the early 2000s but that station was amazing to look at back in the day when you could see it for yourself on the 6 train.

Thank you for this video i wanted to see what this station for a longtime!

Magnificent architecture. Shame it’s closed. Make it a working museum.

I absolutely loved your channel. Please keep it up...

Beautifly captured thank you for this🙏

i went there 2 weeks ago, they have motions sensors on top of the stairs.

Thank you for just lettting the pictures speak. Ive just knocked off three other vids about this station half way through because they had lame music or irritating commentary. Dont know if its just me, but the silence was most appreciated. Much better that way.

A lot of great memories working in the tunnels , and watching these awesome video makes them even better 💯🔥😁

been waiting for this video i really wanna go here

nice. I will be filming down in the old city hall subway station.

I love the chandelier style lighting. More elegance needed on the subway lol

beautiful building. nice reflections from the glass ceiling when the lights from the train hit it.

Awesome channel, thanks for all this, this is the best vid of this location i've seen... to see it legally essentially you have to be a member of the transit museum (!??!?) and then pay another thing to get a tour of it

I once went in a 6 train when it went through the loop and filmed City Hall while I was in it! Cake!

This station is so beautiful. I love history and this fascinates me❤️

Nice I always wanted to see this abandoned section of New yorks subway system

Now do the City hall BMT Lower level located in the R and W

0:42 wtf is that in the metro

Its majestic!!! They have a similar situation in Toronto Canada... I got to see it and walk out the service street exit... Its no where near as opulent as NYC but the period is the same and the historical nostalgia is cool.

Wow. This is gorgeous. We don't have anything like this in Australia. Thankyou for focusing on the station and not constantly yourselves. The end when the stationary camera was filming, are those arches above the train the skylights?

The one thing that's really nice they do tours. It's $35 and adults for a tour and it's gorgeous.. but the thing is since the coronavirus came I don't know if they're still doing the tours

Wish i knew how to get to all these areas you visit. So much history that i use to never know being from NY. Hopefully i can meet someone to show me

Such a beautifful station

What is up those stairs now?

Inactive and unused does not imply abandoned. It's only a matter of time till the taggers and vandals get in and trash this beautiful historic treasure.

That was upsetting that he didn’t go all the way up the stairs. Awesome video though.

Stupid question, but how exactly do you get in?

Gran vídeo! Gracias!👌😃

What magnificent brickwork. Nothing like that today!

This station is nice, well preserved and clean. The other abandoned stations should be cleaned up too

I stayed on the number 6 train and it passed right through here, I recommend it

i love how fantastic beasts and where to find them did shots of this station.

I wish you would have filmed how you got there. Did you hop off the 6 while it looped around or did do the tour? Inquiring minds want to know how you got there.

what was up the top of those steps? and how did you get down their by your self?

This station looks better than the modern ones.

They should renovate this station its gorgeous! 🤔😳

It is probably the cleanest of all the subway stations in NYC other than the newer stations on 2nd ave.

This looks like Museum Station and St James Station in Sydney Circular Quay. Nice period design.

Back in the day, the Transit Museum did tours of the station. It's incredible to be in, but bring earplugs.

The architect was spanish, from Valencia, and this architecture is typical from that zone of Spain.

Wow just beautiful....it has so much details ...they dont built such things anymore...if u think how many people walked those sreps and filled that place with life. So sad its not ipen anymore

It looks like where the final fight of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them takes place.

If he goes up the stairs he could see how big that old station is

ive been through it once long ago. back then you could legally ride the train as it made its loop to its uptown traffic side. from my understanding today the station has been renovated and has tours. but still doesnt function as a serviced station.

This is a great video I wonder how this person snuck in there since it’s very hard to get into

Hey it's been a couple years but how did you get here? Like being able to walk around and such all the guides i've seen just show how to see the station, not be in it

My biggest fear as a New York we. An empty train station and terribly quiet and dark. Imagine the train not going through there. My other fear. Train stations that are long and weird to get out if. Atlantic ave station and Canal street on the A line. This vid alone makes me sad. I am glad for the train noise. Just gives me a sense of hope. NYC is horrible with no people or animals. It's a death trap on its own. The city literally cannot function.on its own. It would fall apart within days of people evacuating. The city would be under water in a year except uptown Broadway on 181St. The movie "I am legend" has me in tears every time I watch it. The horrible sound of just wind going through the city every day.

Stunning.

MTA: You have to get a Transit Museum membership to visit abandoned City Hall station Urban NYC: lol no you don’t 😂😂😂 Great video 🙌🏻

I can see the gap between the train and the platform and I was surprised

Looks like a good place for a movie scene.

beautiful tilework.

I was hoping you find the Ninja turtles from secret of the ooze 😁 Nice video ✌️

This reminds me of that one scene from fantastic beasts where they were in the train station

Station looks like it was beautiful.

this is so nice !!

When I was there 9/11/21 week, I stayed on the #6 to ride through it. They got me real good by stopping for about 3 minutes. I thought I was made. But evidently it was just to sync up with the schedule.

This station should reopen

Amazing. I wonder why they leave the lights on?

Someone in the train 0:41

Abandoned but i see the lights are well maintained

Nice:)

I bet the 6 line would be more popular if they re-opened this station with some upgrading of course xD

Please tell me how to get in and out of there in piece with out getting cought!!

Beautiful.

Is that rolling stock special for historical tourism purpose? Or do all the trains have that space between each cars?

With the subways not operating in mid morning during the pandemic, is it possible to walk down the tunnel and see this place?

You can see this station in person if you stay on while the train loops around.

How I wish New York would put in the money to restore this station to its proper glory!

This is awesome 😎

It’s now opened to the public for tours.

I guess the easiest way instead of walking through the tunnel, risking being hit by a train is to just jump on a passing train in between the cars.

what I want to know is where does that door lead if it does lead to the street level

Now, if I can just make tour appearances in my "V for Vendetta" V costume... ;-)

how do you get there?

and i thought the 149 Curve was loud GAWD DAYUM THATS LOUD

Looks like something out of BIO SHOCK

Reminds of the abandoned subway from “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze” and “Ghostbusters 2:”

This is sad becaus despite the cost it would take, the gap issue from new trains at this abandoned station could theoretically speaking be easily fixed. (but no one wants a downed train line for 2 or more months (for GOOD reasons) because logic)

Y’all are crazy if you think it isn’t being used. Look at the upkeep.
