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

Nah it was locked 😢took me a min to find out which way

Played the video on 1/4 speed, it appears to be a J train passing by. I’m gonna guess Canal Street

There is a distinction to be made between “abandoned” and “no longer in revenue service”. “Abandoned” means the station is no longer used for anything - not storage and not layups of trains not being used at the moment. Those stations - such as 91st, 18th and Worth Streets on the Manhattan IRT, Bergen Street lower level on the IND Crosstown Line and Myrtle Avenue on the Brooklyn BMT, among others, are fully dark and completely unused. “Not in revenue service” means the stations are no longer used for passengers but are still used by the MTA for storage or to lay up trains. These include City Hall on the IRT (6 train uses it to turn from downtown to uptown), City Hall lower level on the Manhattan BMT, 9th Avenue lower level on the Brooklyn BMT, among others. Now Canal Street and Bowery on the Nassau Street BMT are not abandoned “stations”, they are abandoned platforms as part of larger stations. I don’t know whether power can be shut down on one side of a platform and not the other.

they keep power in stations they still use but the actual abandoned ones have mostly no power

yes

yes

They wouldn't be able to, it would cause a lot of pressure at Canal St.

@@iMOBley718 but if u think about it weekends no W train and the R train timing is just trash

@@iMOBley718 and also it’s the same pressure at Whitehall street

True true, although with the Bottom City Hall, feels like it was supposed to have a bigger plan with that.

@@iMOBley718 they could use the abonded canal st platform

they use it to park trains

@@Noturbex rush hours w trains specifically

its used to park trains its a layup

thanks
