I never knew City Hall had a lower level the most popular part of City Hall is The part where it’s at the end of the new City Hall in Weiser are train at the old City Hall it’s an old or 46 it literally this is the craziest station I’ve ever seen haven’t seen you in a while man keep it up welcome back to RUclips
Normally people don't explore the station to much due to MTA workers hanging down there. But you did a pretty good job covering the station. Also like that one train filled with graffiti, it's always interesting when people do that.
The MTA and Transit Museum do have tours of the old City Hall station and it's best to contact them to find out when the next tour is. Only other option is a ride through passing glimpse after the Brooklyn Bridge station the trains still deadhead around the loop and return. City Hall is a beautiful old rustic station and also rumoured to have some spiritual activity.
Go to canal street station on the J and z line that's a easy one to go 2 trust me everyone who explores abandon train stations went there including my self
The NY Transit Museum should be relocated here so that Court St station can connect to the Second Ave Line which would then continue as the Fulton St Line’s local tracks. Because this would de-interline services in the Cranberry St Tunnel. Also, to then ease trains turning around at WTC, the E can continue to terminate there and the C can be routed via an entirely new line which there’s a provision for just before the terminus and run all the way via the west coast of Brooklyn and then terminate at Ninth Ave using the abandoned lower level.
They can't for city hall lower level because the initial plan the lower-level platform would go to Brooklyn and the upper level would terminate but the plan changed so the lower level was used on storing trains.
If I was an employee and had my way, I would clean all the windows on the train inside and out inclu6the windshield on the motorman cab. Also sweep and mop the floors.
There are so many unfinished stations this one is more important although many of you might know that you beaches pneumatic Transit ran through here. When this tunnels and station was dug up they found the old car still on its tracks. Sadly this was never used. Destroyed part of that old tunnel. The rest still remains under a building off public. Any one who finds that records it. Would be a god upon the transit rail fans. I know where it is. But the landlord never lets people into the basement to see it. It waiting room still there. Across from city hall.
Uh, it is difficult to explain... But, initially, the plan was that all Broadway services were to operate south to the Financial District over to Brooklyn. The upper level (active) was supposed to be a terminal. In contrast, the lower level consisted of BMT express trains operating to Lower Manhattan and South Brooklyn-which is why the lower station of Canal Street consisted of a four-track layout where express trains bypass the station mentioned above. Clearly, that didn't happen because it was decided that express trains were to use the Manhattan Bridge, killing the aforementioned plan in the process. So, they converted BMT City Hall Station to allow local service to operate on the upper level and let the lower level defunct.
It’s a shame that all the labor and materials went into building this level and the tracks leading to it, only for it to never be used due to a change in plans.
It was never used for passengers. They rerouted the express tracks over the Manhattan Bridge before the line was ever opened. The upper level was supposed to be the last stop for the locals and the lower level was going to take the route the (R) now takes to Brooklyn.
This station is often used to lay up extra trains. Depending on how extreme weather is, they lay trains up between stations in between stations. Not in service tracks,and stations perfect place put trains there normal practice.
As a track-worker i had to walk between stations checking tracks during 911 one. Wasn’t paying attention and of course not well it walked here by accident . Seemed like a long walk back to upper level 😉

@@Fredster_Real25 I'm A-OK!
Jinkies! I didn't even know City hall had a lower level! You guys nailed it pretty well! Remember to keep staying stealthy!
3:59 nah bro deadass that R68 went on I would have pissed my pants 😂 😂😂

this isn’t brooklyn bridge city hall it’s city hall with the R and W
That’s the IRT City Hall station from the 1904 original subway. This is the BMT City Hall station from the Dual Contracts era in the 1910’s.
This goes hard, though that car that’s graffitied 😂
2:22 that tagged up train been standing there for some time there i assume
really cool video -- but how on earth did you manage to get there without being detected or stopped??
I heard they installed cameras down there recently
Guys they added motion sensors to Lower Level. We cant get in anymore, I was literally planning this for a month 😪
Daaaamn literally was gonna go this weekend! Which entrance it’s located at?
This is amazing. Hope you do more things like this and not get caught cuz I like seeing it. Might do it someday myself. Any suggestions?
Go to canal street station on the J and z line that's a easy one to go 2 trust me everyone who explores abandon train stations went there including my self
Bowery and Canal Street on the J and Z line are good starters since their pretty ez to get to. Just gotta watch out for the 3rd rail though.
Trespassing in unauthorized area is prohibited and subject to imprisonment and or a fine or more at the discretion of Transit police
Helt villt!😮
@@stevegn02 think any1 gaf😂😂
OMG how long have those trains been there?

They need to reopen all the abandoned stations tunnels and lines
They can't for city hall lower level because the initial plan the lower-level platform would go to Brooklyn and the upper level would terminate but the plan changed so the lower level was used on storing trains.
how exactly do you get down there i only know how to get into the upper level.
Is this the 6 line or the R line because the R line has a lower level at the city hall station
If I was an employee and had my way, I would clean all the windows on the train inside and out inclu6the windshield on the motorman cab. Also sweep and mop the floors.
The A and B should stop at City Hall on the Lover Level.
Do trains run through here. What was the original plan for this
There are so many unfinished stations this one is more important although many of you might know that you beaches pneumatic Transit ran through here.

It’s actually interested in seeing the end of the lower level station which is an extension right after the bumper block
Is that r46 currently being used
Ngl that R68 scared me when it's hacked turned 9n
How did you get in there?
I wonder why they left old but still in service trains down there
Whoever is confused the line where it's found is BMT Broadway Line (R) and (W) Late Nights (N)
Where do you find these abandoned trains and train station’s
I look at the NYCT Track map and it literally shows u every last abandoned train station
@@urbexfloxks1641 where can I download it
@@ericktherailfan9030 just search up nyc track map
@@urbexfloxks1641 i did nth pops up
There are no abandoned trains, they are just resting.
ayooo when you finna do a subway surf between 72nd and 96 on the 2 ORRR do 3rd av to e 180th on the 5 via bronx express
so thats how the train gets tagged
Rush hour W trains begin a service.
I forgot to say canal street
Nice
did u guys get here from going through the middle tracks at canal st from the r/w?
More often than not people will not tell you how they gain access to these areas for safety,security reasons .
yup
4:03 do i here a r46 be activated
Why are their stations down on the city hall lower level?
Uh, it is difficult to explain... But, initially, the plan was that all Broadway services were to operate south to the Financial District over to Brooklyn.

@@the-renegade i see now thanks
Why is there just random good R46 and R68 lying on the tracks?
Layup for rush hours.but got a feeling the r46 tagged won't go in service
It’s a shame that all the labor and materials went into building this level and the tracks leading to it, only for it to never be used due to a change in plans.
Why did they close the lower level?
so basically
It was never used for passengers. They rerouted the express tracks over the Manhattan Bridge before the line was ever opened. The upper level was supposed to be the last stop for the locals and the lower level was going to take the route the (R) now takes to Brooklyn.
R46 and r68s at City hall lower level
Why are trains even there though?
This station is often used to lay up extra trains. Depending on how extreme weather is, they lay trains up between stations in between stations. Not in service tracks,and stations perfect place put trains there normal practice.
As a track-worker i had to walk between stations checking tracks during 911 one. Wasn’t paying attention and of course not well it walked here by accident . Seemed like a long walk back to upper level 😉
Sorry I don't have any more abandoned places in mind. It seems that y'all nearly explored all of them.
The Utica avenue upper platform
Please tell me y’all didn’t mess with the trains down there
Bro they wouldn't do bad bad things 💀💀💀
R46!!!!!
do you ever see ta people and what do you do if you do
