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)
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"
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 do like this channel, but AI generated scripts would explain the consistent inaccuracies. The subject matter is always interesting, I just wish it was a little more on point with facts.
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.
I salute to you mr. William Wilgus, you don't get the respect you solely deserve! You design the terminal and made the plans to reinvent the park avenue tunnel and introducing electricity into the tunnel.
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.
@@e.d.moscovitzoptician4068 Last year some teenage students from a synagogue in brooklyn made an illegal mini tunnel to womens quarters. It was quickly shut down. I think it was filled in.
I was fortunate to be the construction superintendent for the restoration of the 67th Street Brick Arches for Metro North. Spent many hours working in that tunnel. Mueser Rutledge did the design/geotech, Breaking Technologies did the white-glove pin piles and grouting. Working in NYC combines interesting work with history.
Thanks for posting another interesting video. In the mid-19th century, the Grand Central facility at 42nd street was technically a station. Pulled by horses, trains continued from Grand Central to the New York and Harlem Railroad’s terminus at 27th Street. Trackage rights were afforded to the New York and New Haven (predecessor of the New Haven Railroad) which had a facility adjacent to the 27th Street terminal. When the rail service through the tunnel ended in 1871, Grand Central Depot technically became a terminal. Clips 6:29, 7:00 and 7:12 show the four track Park Avenue Rail Tunnel (originally a cut) which is to the north of Grand Central Terminal and goes to 97th Street.
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.
I've always wished they would build a tunnel like that under 19th Ave in San Francisco. A tunnel that started at Sloat, and ended at the northern edge of Golden Gate Park would be amazing.
I have went down there countless times and rode my bike and slide down there on several occasions. From when the days u saw some of the tracks for trolles tracks their until the new payed up Street Road bed.
5:14 while strictly you are correct , that the commission’s plan of 1811 is north of Houston. They way you pronounce the word surest that the plan is 1600 miles north. The Houston ( house-stun) family was in NewYork city long before Texas’s Sam started steeling land from the Mexicans.
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.
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!)
You forgot to mention the abandoned station in the tunnel. As you’re driving through, you can see a boarded up stair case that seems to lead to nowhere. The trolly cars stopped there -can’t remember the years it was actually in service-not like I was even an itch in my daddy’s pants at that time 😂
At 05:52, "...a secret history..." There's a huge difference between history that is not widely known and "secret history". You are exaggerating in a deceitful way.

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.
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..

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.
crime is down in NYC. It's been down every year in the last 25. 2024 was down over 20%. But the city is crowded. Everyone wants to be there. That's always been true.

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.
Also worked with Frank Sprague to design and implement NYCRR’s under-running 3rd rail system that powers all trains in and out of Grand Central.
@@dock_yard1149 I didn't know that! Grand Central is amazing!
Lots of good information, but also lots of mispronunciations of names (ex. Lenape, Manahatta, Houston St, etc.)
I'd love to see where or who was building steam and electric trains from 1837..
I learn so much on this channel.
Socash I love you but gimme Park Avenue.
Hmmmm From Green Acres ????
Haha! Eva Gabor would approve!😄
In NYC you don't pronounce "Houston" St the way you pronounce Houston, TX. It's "house" - "ton" street. For all New Yorkers.
Cool
Why do you assume that this tunnel is forgotten?
I feel like 155th street would be a natural barrier for the grid system at the time…
I only know of the tunnel because of the new york central and grand central terminal
We New Yorkers pronounce it "How Ston".
The replacement of NYC electric street cars with automobiles deserves to be known as one of the greatest crimes against transportation in history.
I always appreciate a great history lesson. Thanks Ryan.
