When DeKalb was extended for eight car trains there was a set of switches immediately north of the original platforms which meant the extensions were built onto the southern end of the station.
When these switches were replaced with the current set of flying junctions, the whole station was shifted slightly north to move it further from the curve. The disused bit of platform is part of the first extension that was abandoned when the station was moved.
Mind if I use this comment in the upcoming shorter SS 4 video on my @ExploreTheUrbans channel?
@@SuprToe Go right ahead :)

I think that flashlight wave is a signal to all the other train workers to clear the tracks because a train is coming. I remember seeing this a few times back when I used to commute during off peak hours at night, crews would would sometimes be on the tracks between trains and they would do this whole routine, flashlight waving, whistle blowing, plus the train would honk its horn while pulling in very slowly. and workers would all find their particular cut aways to have clearance when the train pulls in.
YEAH NEW VIDEO :D
The massive steel boat is just one part of the installation! It was sculpted by George Trakas and the whole installation is called Hook (Archean Reach), Line (Sea House), and Sinker (Mined Swell). The boat is Line. Sinker can be seen at 2:13. As you see on the walls, there's a granite wave! The wave runs along the walls and crests at the point where Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Street meet, linking the passageways. Referencing the names Atlantic and Pacific, the overarching concept is a place of landing and departure, functions shared by train stations and seaports.
And yup, Masstransiscope is pretty cool! It was created in 1980 by Bill Brand! The artwork consists of 228 hand-painted panels and stretches across the whole 300-foot platform! The southbound platform was indeed removed. A new track had to be added on the west side to allow for a grade-separated crossing. The original southbound local track at the platform had to be depressed to a lower grade to cross under, and the new track wiped out the southbound platform.
Yep. These details will be covered more in the video essay I'll be uploading to ExploreTheUrbans
train. AWFERO
2:00 That end of the platform used to visibly have a side platform. I used to always see it. In the 1990s or so they started using the space for new storage rooms. The main waiting room to the LIRR used to have a temp grate you crossed over that was technically permanent (you were crossing the road bed). Wish the old set up was still there. :/
Waiting Until Suprtoe Visits the SF Bay Area

The word Knickerbocker has roots with Dutch settlers who in the 1600s made their way to the New World, especially the area of New York. The Dutch settlers in New York were known to wear a style of pants in which the legs were rolled up just below the knee. These pants were called Knickerbockers! The name Knickerbocker is believed to have derived from the Knickerbackers of Schaghticoke, New York who were descended from a Dutch immigrant named Harmen Jansen van Bommel, who went by several names including Herman Jansen Knickerbacker. At some point, the "e" at the end was changed to an "o."
Fast forward 200 years to the year 1809 when a quite well-known author named Washington Irving wrote a satirical piece called "A History of New York from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty" Washington penned his piece under the name of Diedrich Knickerbocker. It was through Washington's book that the world was introduced to the word "knickerbocker"
At one time, the LIRR and IRT had a connection in the Atlantic Terminal. As a kid, LONG TIME AGO, you could see the switch. I heard is was for August Belmont's private car to get him into his Manhattan office from LI. He was the big guy at IRT at the time.
Neat!
Also there’s a fun fact that there’s a Bloomingdale’s entrance underneath the Lexington Avenue-59 Street station. Only one entrance
I love your vids these videos help me help my family when they are traviling
That's awesome!
Pigeons have a love/hate relationship with supertoe
Right? Pigeons are cool, I just didn't want them to ruin another hat.
@@SuprToethey pooped on you before?
Wow, a V train. Haven't seen one of those in a while. But they used to normally use the R46. Another fun video and looking forward to your more in depth video on your other channel.
I've lived in Brooklyn all my life and have never noticed some of these...
The south end of DeKalb Av was the original section of the platform before it was extended north so it wouldn't be on a curve anymore.
Fun fact: Long ago (back when the 6 was still getting the R142As in 2000 to when they were slowly fading away) Astor Place had a Kmart and they removed it i just dont remember when.
Oh BTW Suprtoe the Hoyt Street 2 3 new entrance has opened it has an elevator only on the southbound side.
I like how mta wraps the grand central shuttle
Hey supertoe the r211 trains are back in service and you should do a video about it and find an r211.
0:23 lmao the wave of pigeons coming in menacingly out of nowhere was the best part of the video
Finally found your channel again, used to watch you when i was 6 in 2017 and now im 12, love your videos 🙃
Im so excited tonight because I get to go from Bedford Park Blvd [4] to Grand Central
34 street had a passageway where you could walk to 42nd street Bryant park without taking a train
yay subway secrets :)
"Spider-Train" 💀☠️💀☠️💀
Self reply: A heart ❤️
Also, After the 3 to penn, walk to the E at 8th Av.
I can’t be that many people including us still miss V train
I went to NYC this year but just missed the R211
Very nice video! I subscribed!
YAY ITS OUT
4:48 that actually is a abandoned part of the Dekalb Platform, it was abandoned when the platform was extended
Great video!
Thanks!
@@SuprToe No Problem, always looking forward to watching you!
Do all Brooklyn trains
Lol I saw that same R42 that same day at Church Ave
Let’s go we set friend r42
I have actually been to the old city hall station
You need to go to the piers in battery park, right by the World Trade Center. Absolutely a beautiful part of NYC.
Do you plan to do thanksgiving special video this year?
I hadn't thought about it but... maybe?
OMG r42 v train
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
W Supertoe
Wait is that the V train I saw back there. I wish the V was still in service.
I meant the R from Union Square to Herald Square and then the M to Rockefeller Center.
IM FROM STATEN ISLAND 😂 I only went to the e from west 4th to court square and 4 from bowling green to boro hall
Also fun fact that did you know that the Avenue H station house was a real estate office?
I actually did know that. It's a pretty unique station.
@@SuprToe I didn’t know at all after researching on all of the NYC subway secrets of the system. I never get off at that station but all of the things that you find is so cool! Also btw when you ride the F train at Ditmas Avenue before church Ave, you can still see some of the structure from the Culver Shuttle that runs to 9th Avenue lower level
The old and new track is at Grand Central not 42nd St.
Curious, when u just missed the 5 train, why didn’t you just take the 6 train because it also goes to 59th street. Albeit 2 stops instead of 1.
I don’t usually take the same train twice in the same episode if I can help it.
GOGO SUPERTOE PLEASE REMEMBER THE KID AT THE NOSTALGIA RIDE NOVEMBER 4th THAT ASKED YOU FOR A SELFIE
15:08 no seats ?? But very cool
You are the cool coolest person on earth
The blue is for the JFK express
What’s next, Subway Secret 5 (The Special Secret) on the LIRR
LIRR has a lot of secrets so you might want to check it out
Maybe yeah.
And it’s still intact like it looks new brand new but we don’t use it
What happened to the Bus vs Train part1/2 video?
IN THE PURPLE HOODIE
Wait i was I. Grand central yesterday
Can you do these ideas?
1. you should make a Thanksgiving special video
2. Only take the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 S A
Just a reminder on that shuttle platform down the track I don’t know which one but there is another shuttle platform that is not used I have no idea which one it is you’re gonna have to search
Early!
Supertoe you should spell Reeses
Yo gogo bro u put 4 but u took da 5 train in da caption
Fixed it. Thanks!
Why didn’t the MTA keep the V and brown M
Fun fact: the orange M is actually the V
13:48 where is the seating?!
Tell me the surprise!!!
The fact that the1988 car doors reopened and closed 2-3 time
Also why does it say 4 train on the title meanwhile it’s the 5?
A mistake. I fixed it. Thanks!

bruh he literally mentioned the station in this vid when talking about Masstransiscope
@@waterlooandcitylineHow about when you drive on the Jackie Robinson Parkway, and underneath the Queens Blvd Underpass, you can see glimpse of the Kew Gardens Union Tpke station on the E and F
I LOVE ❤❤
SUBWAY SECRETS 🔥🔥🚇 🗣
please do 9th avenue lower level on the D train, and also check out Ditmas Avenue on the F, the 2 stations used to be connected by shuttle along 37th street. you can only see a little piece of trackbed curving off at the north end of the downtown platform
