      The whole station isn’t abandoned it’s just this section also a lot of stations were closed because they were to close to express stops they can’t really use old stations for like public use such as night clubs since the trains still run also some abandoned sections of stations are used for storing trains

    Best exploration of Canal Street I've seen so far, well done. Too bad you didn't go into that door around 10:30. Back in the day there used to be two staircases leading up to the platform level from the lower mezzanine, with the one inside that room slabbed over a long time ago, but perhaps the bottom of it still exists. However, that room did look rather nasty (with most likely a matching smell) so probably not worth it. All in all, you can still make out the nice decoration and tiles this station once had.

    • @42luke93
      @42luke93 Год назад +7

      Diseases are probably in there. This is so poor the MTA would let that happen, I'm sure it could have been a space for something useful since they leave the lights on. It's like they still must use this area except whatever is in the door due to the light being left on.
      These random shopping carts are kinda strange too, how did they get there along with all that trash?

      Exactly that. When someone is on the track bed at a station & emergency response has to go down there, electricity is cut & it will affect about eight stations, that’s why service disruption can affect other lines. The light to illuminate the stations are all coming from the same power source in the area. The station is still in use, just not that section. I just can’t believe a bulb hasn’t blown yet 🤔 lol.

      @@monsterajr1 Which line is on the active side @3:00? I think you can see some of the old track on the other side of the wall from the N/Q line going towards the Manhattan bridge.

    This looks like the abandoned station of the J, Z, and M trains.

    Amazing. Video had a very "backrooms" feel to it. Perhaps a bit too much attention to all the graffiti, but that's my only issue with it. Glad to see the sign explaining what trains were once involved in this section. I would be curious to know if anyone can answer, as I no longer live in NYC, what line is still operational on the other side of the wall that we see? And did you have to go through the hole to get from the active to abandoned section? Again, well done overall and thanks for sharing.
