Oh my God you literally explored every single area within the abandoned platform and mezzanine. Amazing job, I think out of every video out there, you have the best footage of the station
Yo your everywhere lol
@@DJWreckAlot what can I say, I love watching and doing urban exploration
I'll bet the smell was unbearable
No hi didn't
I like urban exploring but it always brings on a feeling of sadness in me. I know what effort and expense it took to construct those stations and to see the neglect and waste gets me every time...Show me more....No use avoiding sad reality...Well done video...
By the way, the $1.50 subway fare was in effect from late 1995 to mid 2003. The abandonment of the platform and mezzanine took place in 2004.
Me and my mom have use this Canal street when i was a kids :)
Abandoned or not, don’t test your fate walking on or placing your feet underneath the third rail. ( People tend to do stupid things at time’s)😏 but other then that? Great video✊🏽
I was kinda waiting for an insane bum to come running at you with a two-by-for from some unexpected angle. just like condemned criminal origins. Great footage, very atmospheric!
So sad to see MTA incompetence of abandoning a station without finding a use for it.
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
@@soullessprincess6473 I still see one of the train tracks in the abandoned station that is still intact with the 3rd rail. I wonder if the MTA still uses that train track sometimes to store trains??
You can still find a use for these stations even though the mta says otherwise.
@@soullessprincess6473 ehhh Tom Ford managed to use in 2020 for a fashion launch?
Yeah
Brings me back to the 80's This station was in a bad area and that stations always smells urine 24/7.
This is giving me Michael Jackson's "bad" video vibes 😍😍😍

Jesus this whole abandoned platform and mezzanine are straight up terrifying
Nice video without any shaking or annoying kids talking
Why are the lights always on on these abandoned stations?
Because Of Darkness
Well at least this one isn’t fully abandoned and there’s a platform that’s actually used
Because when the “warriors come out to play” …….
That bitch is probably straight hardwired into the power grid lmao.
There is still infrastructure in these stations that connects to the rest of the subway. If for whatever reason workers need to get down there, it would be much safer if there was light
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.
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?
should have taken the canal st signs dummy!!!
@@42luke93 Homeless people probably. They sometimes have shopping carts, so a few of them might've left them in the station and the MTA did nothing about it.
You captured the old Canal St station platform and the surrounding areas very well. I see this stuff and think of all the lives that passed through there over the decades. Great job!
Hands down the best video of the abandoed platform. I still dont understand why the celling is so low where the abandoned token booth is located, I'm 5'8 and I had to duck the whole time in that area. The celing had these concrete icicles hanging everywhere.
that ceiling is the underside of the sidewalk immediately above. That part of the line was built close to the street level so geometry was tight. MTA closed it around 1995 ish.
I was walking on X street yesterday and the door shown at 8:58 was wide open! My friend I went down cuz we thought maybe it was some super hip club lol! We only went down a little bit and quickly became terrified. All the lights were red. We climbed back up , and some girls on the street asked us what was down there and we said “we don’t know but it’s horrifying!” We left and the door was still wide open!
What street?
@ 8:33 there looks to be low pressure sodium lighting next to the florescent lights. Low pressure sodium gives a redish amber light.

@@StoneyHoliday where on baxter is it?
Be so much better without the lame tags
This canal street platform has been abandoned for 30 years and the mta won’t make this the late night m train terminal station because it’s inefficient.
Love this, so eerie yet so cool. Hoping y’all will visit more stations
Loved the exploration, not a fan of the graffiti though.
If anyone asks what line is this this the BMT Nassau Street Line
(J),(Z) and Brown (M)
Woww thank you I didn’t know that so wait doesn’t the J go to Canal still but I’m a different part of the station or am I just lost?
@@guyaensedimented7376 Yes, the J is routed to the active platform of Canal Street (J,Z).
This video seems surreal.. The fact that this just lingers with no initiative is kinda crazy. I believe they are aware of the decay but just let it be. The passivity of the city sometimes is woah.
The city has more abandoned stations then in use.
472 in use
lol that’s a big fat lie…
@@imdanumber1
Wow. You're so smart.
9:50 etc is that trench meant to house an escalator? \m/
Yes
I wonder if they took it out to reuse it elsewhere.
no , they were long gone when reno work started in 1994@@42luke93
this video really makes me appreciate how iconic and marvelous the new york city subway system is
fire ass vidd 💯💯
Appreciate it 🔥
Привет из Россия! Как я люблю смотреть Нью Йорик метро тоннель подземный! По больше снимать видео друг!
Y’all got balls to go in them halls
What the purpose of graffitiing a wall if no one would see your graffiti artwork????
Anyway nice video
It's so amazing how much abandoned stations are hitting in New York City awesome job exploring the abandoned stations just don't get in trouble by the NYPD if they catch you down there I think it's illegal but it's amazing.
@12:00 at least you knew when the station was functional … not too long when tokens where $1.50
why must we spray paint everywhere. so sad
6:23 that area is slightly neglected and flooded
That's what makes it scary and no receding of the water.i fund concerning.
With everyone screaming for Green Transportation you would think the subway system would be the city's greatest asset it breaks my heart to see stations looking like this today's New York City sucks
Its closed so people dont enter idiot
12:17 Ominous sign
It definitely hits different now that the station is abandoned.
Would love to see an abandonded station like this. Shame about all the awful looking graffiti, would look much better without.
What are you talking about? The graffiti just makes It look much better. More abandoned and Apocalyptic
The graffiti provides the station with another history. I think it's beautiful and makes the station more rich. It tells another story
@@alanjuarez8660 Nah. Stations look better preserved, not vandalised.
graffiti is essential
@@lexijs no it isn’t
One would think tho that there would be much higher caliber graffiti considering how unlikely you'd be to get busted there. Meanwhile I've seen some amazing work that looked impossible to get to and very exposed on the freeways here in CA
Bro stop spray painting it destroys the historic station and makes it less enjoyable for future explorers
Man that’s really cool! I’ve never been to NYC but I’d love to go just to see the subways and the abandoned areas.
Same here man I live in LA and honestly wonder if there’s cool shit like this too
Que mal que hagan vandalismo en lugar de un video de exploración urbana de calidad.
How do you get in there???????????????
2:58 cross the tracks from the non abandoned side
@@shoface1798 ahhhhhhhhh ok cool, thanks bro!!!
@@bigben1986 If u tryna get in I know a way in from Bowery st.
@@sabiralam9383 Definitely trying to get in there.
@@sabiralam9383 kinda late here, but i would be down to go exploring
Max Payne was here
Condemned: Criminal Origins
Love the teal pillars and the tile, You can definitely see the full beauty of the 20th century!
so abandoned the rats moved out. Great footage.
They are now on the streets and platforms for their safety.
wait if there abandoned why is the lights on btw i live london so i wouldnt know lol
Bro where is that i wanna go
In NYC
Would’ve been more eerie if there was like an abandoned slant or something
Been there before a looonnngggg time ago. But like, how did you NOT get caught? Apparently there’s motion sensors now? 🤨
Is there im not sure at all?
I'm gonna guess that this was abandoned, in 2005 after 1) The southbound platform of the J/M/Z line was renovated, linking both directions on the same platform, and 2) the 20-year completion of the renovation of the Manhattan Bridge, to which the connecting Broadway line (N, R, Q) uses. I remember this platform very well.....!
Well they did have tokens. I thought those went away in the 1990s
When you're on the J/Z platform if you look through the wall that would split the previously other destination platform, you can see the abandoned side.
you are correct. First phase of the reno and relocation of electrical services was done in 94-99 or so. Follow on contract closed the uptown side and reconfigured the track as well as south end of south bound was demo'd
Thanks I thought it was the A line I was about to lose it. It's still a waste.they could at least clean it up then seal it off so the East river won't be so scary.
Amazing video!! Thank you for the showcase and glad you guys were safe!!
What another one of the same
It was open back in 2002...but don't know when they close it...
This guy says “however’ too much.
I’m amazed these abandoned stations still have powered lighting. Perhaps they can’t cut the power without affecting other stations on the line?
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.
toys stay home
It’s funny because when you go up the emergency escalator towards the exit, you can hear those stupid toy robots and frogs they sell near by hahahaha lololol
What a waste, what a mess
NYC in bankrupt
Tokens! 1.50 . I'm guessing 1990
What a shame.
You guys playing Max Payne irl
The NYC rats penthouse!!💯🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁
The last of us
How many movies were filmed down here? Beat Street, The Wiz, Ghostbusters 2, the list goes on...
Somehow I was expected to see some giant rats crawling around, but I guess they learn to avoid any and all light sources!
When Tokens were 1.50 I remember that.
Yeah, this looks the setting for a scary movie.
Would've been so much creepier if the power was out. Also not sure why they're still wasting power on an abandoned station.
I think this place is full of ghosts.. So spooky!!..
Great video, Congrats...
Why do they even keep the lights on?
What does it smell like in there?
Love that you ended it on "Jesus saves" that dude is everywhere
Has always been and will always be.
What kind of stalagmites are dropping fron the ceiling at 11.30 ?
9-11 DUST SHOULD HAVE MASK
Reminds me of the movie Ghost when he sees his first Ghost in the subway.
I like how the uploader warned the viewers not to visit places like this as if its some fallout 4 location, Sounds like an adventure to me
Hey be careful CHUD might be down there!👹👹👹
Truly sad to see it like this.
Ngl I was expecting more than just graffiti and garbage.
Home sweet home🗿
You people are tagging? Third world culture, please stay in the cities.
I remember thinking how the Canal Street station is such an amazing labyrinth of train tunnels, passageways… who knows how,any levels from street to the deepest tunnel…
Yeah is deep
that part (J-M line) is relatively shallow in parts. The 4-5-6 line is also very close to the street. The cross connects to connect to the lower platform for express trains is very deep (40 feet below the street).
@@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.
It is, the J and Z to Jamaica and the M to metropolitan ave
So these places are abandoned yet have power and the lights still work after al this time?
wow that station is soo nasty and sick and disgusting unbelievable
Why was it closed?
This is so creepy
This is some Jacob's Ladder ish right here, wild.
These are the Lascaux caves of our civilization.
Dirty! Hope you had Haz-Mat gear on!
*Many of the functioning stations look exactly the same.*
I can hear your buddies spray painting shit
Did they use to have an escalator to go up
POV: Most safe NYC station
Zombie virus hits NYC
Nice Find Buddy
Bless Up
Warriors! Come out to plaay!
I hear the spray can sound 💯🙌🏼
Serious L4D vibes
Why was this abandoned?
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.
