1898 is not "several decades later" than 1902. The video contains a few like this. AI generated scripts can be helpful but really do require a lot of proofreading.
I love driving up that tunnel, swinging past Vanderbilt, speeding past grand central and navigating the Helmsley chicane just to hit the red light at the other side. Fun times.
I went to high school at 83rd st. and Park(class of 75)Classes were sometmes held in the basement.If you opened a window(yes,a actual window down in the basement)you would see the old NY Central tracks scarcely 15 ft. away.(maybe by then they were owned by the Penn Central,I dunno)
The tunnels of New York! Subway tunnels, tunnels dug by Rabbis, tunnels are awesome! Unless you’re in a tunnel that’s blocked from both sides filling up with water! Not cool! Unless Sylvester Stallone shows up to save everybody, that’s cool “true story by the way, I remember it vividly”
@e.d.moscovitzoptician4068 There was some legal dispute regarding unlawful additions being built into a synagogue in Brooklyn. There may still be some news footage available on RUclips. I believe the whole incident happened last year.
5:15 you've made how many videos about New York city but you can't pronounce Houston Street correctly? It's not like the city in texas! It's "House - ton"
Williamsburg, Virginia has a restored 18th Century section known as Colonial Williamsburg. During the Great Depression, several federally funded roadways were built. The one through Williamsburg is the Colonial Parkway. The road project started in 1937 without a clear vision of passing through Colonial Williamsburg. After much debate, a tunnel was finally completed in 1952. Part of the delay was WWII.
As often as I've traveled through this tunnel, never knew the history behind it...though I'd always assumed it started out as a rail tunnel of some sort.
From subway systems to secretive passageways, NYC’s tunnels are fascinating! Each one tells its own story, whether it’s for transportation, hidden history, or even mystical purposes (looking at you, rabbis!)
William Wilgus was responsible for the design and construction of the present day Grand Central Terminal. He was not the president of the New York Central Railroad.
Although the electric streetcars seen in your video seem to pick up their electricity from underground in that slot seen in between the tracks, you should know that New York was among the 25 cities in the world that had steel cable pulled streetcars of the sort only today seen where they originated, in San Francisco. Electric streetcars were perfected after 1888, and so many fairly new cable car companies(including in Chicago etc.) repurposed the slot for the more reliable electric pick-up system. Newer systems used trolley poles. Washington DC had such slot fed electric streetcars in its central district that would be switched to trolley poles further outside of that district. A man down in a hole in the street was employed to disconnect the underground pick-up and I believe the motorman would connect the trolley pole. Appearances of unsightly overhead wires mattered that much in such districts. I cannot say that those Park avenue cars were among the cable to electric conversions or not. San Francisco had cable cars on Market street that were converted to electric after the famous1906 earthquake, but of course those steep hills still needed the steel cables and the gripmen that enabled them. That there were once cable pulled streetcars on level ground in so many cities beside San Francisco is a little known bit of history you might care to examine... if you can find information about that brief period of time. Horse trams were always the cheap way to go, when traffic was light enough.
It doesn't matter what you do in that area of NYC or anywhere in NYC it's all complete NIGHTMARE to drive anywhere. Disgusting and not to mention there is now what is called CONGESTION TOLL in certain areas just to get into MANHATTAN. NYC IS A CESSPOOL.
Pretty sure even amtrak runs under park ave to way uptown under the actual park ave tunnel was also where they filmed daylight with Sylvester Stallone..

@@e.d.moscovitzoptician4068 Jews dug a series of tunnels under a synagogue in Brooklyn causing distruption to foundations of buildings around it

I learn so much on this channel.
Socash I love you but gimme Park Avenue.
Hmmmm From Green Acres ????
Haha! Eva Gabor would approve!😄
there was a rave held in this tunnel back in june 2023. the graffiti in the tunnel is super cool
That’s not the same tunnel….
Cool
United stateses?
Why do you assume that this tunnel is forgotten?
What a tool. Photos make no sense.
Lots of good information, but also lots of mispronunciations of names (ex. Lenape, Manahatta, Houston St, etc.)

Not the only street tunnel in NYC
No shit
Did someone say it was?
Pretty sure even amtrak runs under park ave to way uptown under the actual park ave tunnel was also where they filmed daylight with Sylvester Stallone..
Nope
Amtrak is not in Grand Central anymore. All its trains go through Penn Station.
9:40 footage is not park ave tunnel
I was the 1000th thumbs up.

How-Stun street NOT You-Stun street. You-Stun is the Texas city How-Stun is the New York street.
Grand Central Terminal. Always has been and may always will be.
The original was Grand Central Depot. When the new (current) building opened in 1913 it became Grand Central Terminal.
