The platform had only been closed nine years at that time so it was still in decent condition. The single track was still connected to the downtown local track that ran to the upper level of the station so trains could be run through the station during the scene (which was done, although in the wrong direction).
Back in the mid 60's I was living and working in Manhattan and on Saturdays I would take (Round trip btw) the IND "Aqueduct Special" to the Big A from this platform. Greatest train ride in America, loved it
The last time i saw this part of The A C & E TRAIN LOWER LEVEL was the early 1970's . Coincidence i was just there prior to the Thanksgiving holiday not realizing what once was & is still there, amazing.
Hi thks for this is there any way you can tell us where this is on 42nd St also i know where where the original connection is for the Times Square line in1904 then under 42nd St its the shuttle line between Times Square and Grand Central but where is the tracks that connect with the Park Ave South Line Thanks again
The stairs were there up until the mid 90s I believe. I’m not sure exactly when the station’s lower level is closed but I do remember the stairs still being there and they just put chains over them. And then they actually close the stairs up somewhere around the mid 90s late 90s early 2000s I think.
@@bonusyt6413 Actually only rush hour E trains used it as well as the Aqueduct Special trains. It did not have any track connection to the A and C trains.
@@E-man5375 I did some research on it. Apparently it was built more as a block to prevent the IRT from building the current 7 train west. When they were building the Hudson Yards extension, they had to punch a hole in this platform for the 7 train tunnel
Man everyone here is getting lucky. Wish I could get a chance to see the platform but it looks hard to get there compare to the others 2:27 I also see urbexsurfer's tag 😏
This subway station was featured on Patrick Swayze's GHOST movie becomes a GHOST station.
This is where he learned to move objects from the other ghost

BRUTAL camera work, too helter skelter, slow down! Looks like a graffiti art gallery!
Right when you was about to inspect that hole-in-the-wall something happened. God damn it

Interesting. How many abandoned subway stations are there in NYC? In a weird way I wished LA Metro was old and big enough to have abandoned stations.😊
What train ran through here? What was it for?
The A,C and E trains

Rush hour E trains but the platform hasn’t been used since 1981 and it’s unclear as to why it was built in the first place

🔥🔥
Awesome
is this the East side??Under the Irt?
This is the lower level at 42nd St. and 8th Ave. Single platform and one track, directly below the s/b local track.
@@8avexp Thanks for your response I am a Subway junkie from way back!
Does it smell bad over there
They could remake that station for the T train in the future
That’s not going to happen, a portion of the station was destroyed because of the 7 line expansion
@@BigNate5404* demolished
MTA should be fired .
Why do you think that big guy?

You gotta show me how to get in that bitch, bro. I stay by Main st on the 7 line. Idk if yall still fuckin with it 2months later but hmu
fiiire gang 🤩✨
How did you find it?
dont worry
gang🔥🫶🏻
is this Grand Central? I stip by her all the time and never seen this area
It’s at Times Square on the 8th Ave A Line.
I thought they used this platform for filming movies and TV shows. Whyt is it so decrepit?
They haven't used it for filming in years. The 7 extension goes right threw it, so they don't have a reason to keep it nice looking.
i need friends like this😔
Bout to head to Bowery ghost station tmr? Wanna link?
