The Bergen Street express station is infrastructure built along with Jay Street -MetroTech , Hoyt Schermerhorn and Court Street stations for the Staten Island connection tube via Fort Hamilton Parkway that unfortunately wasn’t built because of the Great Depression and Second World War ! This project was part of the IND second system along with the South 4th street Brooklyn mammoth station that also was part of the second system !

I remember way back in the 80's when i was kid the lower level was used during rush hours as a express stop during peak service. The lower level was also used during service disruptions when a GG trains or a F was stuck or delayed upstairs, the booth clerk had to open up the locked gates with his keys and guide passengers downstairs. I remember the dim lighting from the incandescent light bulbs, the smell & the huge water leak issues it had. During the 90's station re-hab, the gates were removed and replaced with stainless steel doors, the later generations will never know how the subways & service was back then.

Lmaooo, no way you were walking on the 3rd rail protection cover. Those things aren’t as strong as you think (that’s why track workers NEVER do that) Be careful. Would be a shame if the cover broke, and you fell onto the 3rd rail.

I loved hearing the trains roll by in the distance. This was such a fascinating video. Subscribed.

It's not so bad. A bit of power washing, a lick of paint, plug the water leak, resurface the stairs and platforms, install a couple elevators, and Bergen St could become quite a useful little transfer hub.

Oh Snap!! Did you know you could just walk through that door like that? Wow!

Great video. I find it very interesting and cool to explore abandoned places. It’s fascinating. I hope to actually experience it someday.

Bergen Street is mentioned by Tim Robbin's character in Jacob's Ladder (1990) in the beginning, on the train. Big time vibes of that film in these type NYC videos, very creepy, well done.

I'm surprised that much of it is still lit, the signal system seems to be functioning and the rails are shiny, as if they've been used recently. Although not available to the public, it appears that it's not as abandoned as one might think.

You did this so smooth and by yourself. That took some bravery.

man i gotta say when i hear the rumbleing of the train coming towards you its almost like im scared that a train might come towards you and something bad might happend but im glad no trains was using those track at the time u where filming the video

Some of the sequences here remind me of Jacob Singer and those trembling lightbulbs as a train is approaching, in "Jacob's Ladder."

Great work, always good to watch these

My God, I remember this growing up in Brooklyn when going to see family in Red Hook!!!

Wow you where close to that 3rd rail at times, touching the live bar on it would kill you in an instant . If I’m right the 3rd rails in the nyc subway are also top powered so it’s even more dangerous.

TOTALLY AWSOME. I wanna check that that lower level station one day.

Please do not do this during the moring of evening as trains use the lower level to bypass bergen street

Back in the 70s We had one on linden blvd and could access the station from underneath, it had full electricity

Years ago my job required me to get to a terminal in the lower level. They took me through the doors you exited to the upper level and I went down to the platform and crossed the tracks to the opposite side where I found the terminal. I think there were MTA workers down there too. It’s strange being on the tracks when trains are passing the switch going to the upper level.

You're brave walking through there as it looks like the track is still used as the rail head is shinny probably still energised too via a 3rd rail guessing something like 650 Volts DC?

when i saw those train lights at 7:40 i was literally yelling run at my computer until i realized it wasnt coming toward you😂

Glad you were smart enough to take the quick way out

The MTA looks to still be running some trains through there as the rail are shiny

All the effort that was put to built that stationi and look now! Waoooo

Dude, don't you know you are standing on the third rail that is high voltage??! There may be a guard on it, but it is still a dumb idea to stand on it.

There are monsters living in those tunnels. You are very lucky you didn't get eaten by one of them.

These tracks are still active. Last year, I rode an "F" train that skipped Bergen and Carroll Streets.

I kept waiting to see Splinter, Michelangelo, Rafael, Leonardo, and Donatello walking beside him.

Nice sound effects ❤

gunning for that darwin award voluntarily walking right next to and on the third rail while recording 🧐🤣

That exit at the end was sweet 👌

Thanks for the video . I see some fixing needs to be done ..

The Subway is massive!

Love how he explored the whole station and not just one part of it 💪

So casual ...just walk through the door. boss !!!

could not tell it was abandoned till you told me i also remember it being used as an express ston on f line lived right by f train on ditmas ave stop ps does anyone remember what year that the d line was changed to the f line late 60s?

Best place for horror movies 😂

This is why we get "delays" because of "unauthorized person on the tracks". 🤣 I hope you did this at night. Thanks for the tour.

How long has that train line been closed??? During your whole walk no trains went by so it has to be a termination of that train service.

Cool explore, but how about finding a stabilizer for the cam, huh? I'm getting motion sick watching this thing.

Are you walkin on the 3rd rail ?

How's this bloke able to just march through what seem to be active track areas without Homeland Security popping up like Ninja Turtles?

The funny thing is.... We have all this track and abandoned stations, but if they try to finish the 2nd Ave. line, it would cost about a billion dollsrs!!!

9:41 yo what was I the only one who heard the creepy laughing, was that from the floor above??

OMG 😳😳😳 that's Bergen street here in Brooklyn I'm few blocks from that street since how long this been 😳😳😳 and I had no idea of this ohh God

check out 57th st...N/R/W trian southbound...go to back of platform and jump down to track...30 feet bear left theres an abondoned track...where is goes to i don't know...

You got a insta where you post pics of the places?

awesome

Walking between the third rail and the running rail is a very, very bad idea...

Jacobs Ladder was filmed at this station.

In case of a attack on NYC, AKA nuclear? This would be used as a fall out shelter. In which would be led dwn into. On occasion workers would access this place to check integrity. Boston has a plan place as well.

This Grand Theft Auto game is wicked real!

Smooth exit

Now they talking about fixing up some of the old close stations and reopen them back up

i wonder how old the bart graffiti is...

The reason they don't use this station is because there was a fire here years ago which destroyed some of the switches and other equipment. They could use it to store trains off-hours. Hopefully that third rail is not live!!

Already the noise from the trains above would keep me away from ging there.

It seems all of those trains are run by crickets!

It's creepy down there.

Oh hell naw!!! Anxiety at 10000000

I wonder what the purpose of keeping the lights on is?

1 Train.EXE is scary!

Be like "Third rail? What's that?"

Wwwwiiiinnnnstooooonnnnn . . .

Wow creepy 👍

Trains run through there for sure.

9:58 r160 is close

Walking a little close to the 3rd rail aren't you?

I feel like in horror game 😂🤣

What train used to stop there?

Did you find Lex Luthors hideout?

So no trains run on that stretch of track now?

That sure was a long station !?

It looks like it would smell like piss down there 😂

Why are the lights on if they abandoned, who pays for that!?!

Click here to skip -> 8:01

RIP Sly & Drip

Yes,there is monsters living there I seen 2 when I went there.

What line and in between what stations

Looks like a 5 car station from the 1920s?

Trip Fall Zap Dead That's why you leave this shit to the pros!

I wish that the F train can still serve there.

Where's the train going thru?

They don't lock those doors??

El metro en en ciudades y eso lo ace inuit Para que mover gente de ciudad .. para ir a oficinas a que ? Transportar gente de ciudad sirbe ? Segundo necesita electricidad y de donde ? Tercero trabajadores !! Quienes ? Mantenimiento y piezas de paises que ya ni las fabrican ni las comercian !! Tiene futuro el metro ?

What do the blue 🔵 lights mean ?

Which it would be goid

Were they at ?

Spooky

Did ya see all the blood splattered all over the wall with two hands on the rails??

Really no excuse for allowing the loose garbage to pile up in these unused areas...or any area in the system. Symtom of bad management.

You really walking in there like that?

Becarful, don't get hit by a Marta train

Why does that stairwell look like a dumbster? There's so much trash laying on the floor.

Watch out for C.H.U.D.s down there.

solo?

Was that a huge rat or are you just happy to see me?

Cool! But what a waste of space now. Too bad.

Rip the doors being open

where are the homeless? and The crazy druggies?
