lol once you got to the Nevins Street station I was screaming “DONT LEAVE, LOOK THROUGH THE HOLES” Glad u realized.
Pl
Ok so for the Bowling Green station, the signs you saw were actually vintage. It wasn’t a 2 and 5 train sign u saw. You were looking at old 4 train bullet that was pink (from 1967 -79). The 4 originated and terminated at Flatbush Avenue, then It swapped with the 2, which was originally terminating/originating at Crown Heights / New Lots Ave. The green was the 5. U could actually still see a bigger sign of the pink (4) and the green (5) bullet hanging from the ceiling. You gotta angle it lol

everytime I hear abandoned platform I think of Hoyt-Skamimmyhorn St.
I like TGV
What about 91 street and city hall
Schermerhorn.

I've been in the Atlantic Avenue tunnel, in fact, I've been down there a couple times while it was still a legal thing to do. It's quite fascinating, really.
I’ve been through basically every single abandoned station on the subway, Myrtle Av on the Q is by FAR my favorite
Hi have you been to WoodHaven on Atlantic Ave?
I took one of Bob Diamond's trips into the Atlantic Av tunnel in the early 1990s. Entered via a manhole in the middle of the street; electricity was provided by wires hooked into a lamppost base. The 1st room was claustrophobic and appeared to be hand dug. Went thru the door and down the steep ladder/steps into the tunnel. It was amazing. You could see where one of the tracks were removed in the soil. There were also a bunch of intrusions in the ceiling of the brick tunnel, it looked like the Phone Company ran some wires thru the tunnel. There was info painted next to the holes about the phone lines there. At one point, they turned off the lights just to show how dark it was inside the tunnel - you can't see your hand in front of your eyes!! I guess we spent about a 1/2 hour down there looking around in awe and amazement. Somewhere I have the pics I took (35mm film)!!!
When you take the Q to 72 st from 63 & back there is an off ramp tunnel for the future planned T. It can either stay this way for ever to be "abandoned" or be built.
9:46, clues to "lower level" are the vent grates below the platform where you can see lights sometimes and hear the express or re-routed trains below. Also re-routed trains cause the platform to rumble significantly indicating you are on a steel structure not solid ground.
This guy: opens a door at bergen street and closes it in fear of breaking law
Me: literally walks across an abandoned rail bridge that was sealed off and illegally enters the other side
Supr-toe: World’s oldest
*Ad plays* MOLD ARMOR!
Me: World’s oldest mold armor?
Lol
LOL
The lower level of Bergen Street Station can be seen in the 1990 film "Jacob's Ladder," complete with a four-car consist of R10s running through it!
I went on a tour of the Atlantic Ave tunnel back in the 80s with Robert Diamond. The access was through a manhole in the street at an intersection on Atlantic Ave(I don't remember what cross street). It was one of the coolest things I ever did. I wish they would open it for tours again.
Atlantic Ave and Court Street. My family went on one of Robert's tours in the 90s; I was really young and got spooked by the darkness, so we left partway through.
The (D) train used to run on what today the (F) Lion. The old Atlantic tunnel was LIRR, not subway. Access was via a manhole on Atlantic.
Don't know how this video popped up but it was nice seeing metrotech, since I graduated in 1995 from Polytech. looked almost the same. Brought a tear to my eye! D was a Brighton line then, never ran to Jay. And I see Lawrence Street station is gone too :lol:
The Bowling Green Platform used to be open. I think they blocked the platform more recently, i wanna say within the past 20 years. But i think thats more due to MTA not wanting Conductors accidentally opening up on the wrong side.
The shuttle platform was only a couple of car lengths long, at the south end of the station. I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure a conductor at the middle of a through train would have been facing a blank wall on that side mlm
The B63 Bus You Are On, The Bus Model Is The 2017 New Flyer XN40 Xcelsior 751 So Yes
6:35 fun fact, the original 1969 myrtle ave elevated M line actually terminated right here
Actually a block west at Jay Street. When El service over the Brooklyn Bridge was eliminated a paper transfer to the A presumably to rep ln ace access to downtown Manhattan. For some reason, at least when I rode it in the sixties, the transfer was available only in the late evenings and nights when the stations west of Broadway were unmanned and fares were collected on board the trains.
supertoe do the 9th avenue station, the 91st street station, city hall lower level on the R and W and the bowery/canal street platforms 3 and 4
Last time I saw the 9th Avenue station was in "Crocodile Dundee;" I wonder if the MTA is still letting films shoot there...Years ago there was an open stairway (with a chain across the top) leading down to that City Hall station lower level - I never had the guts to see what was down there. I always wondered what happened to the express tracks that continued down Broadway beyond the connection to the Manhattan Bridge-bound lower level of the Canal St. station...until I realized they were most likely the ones that continued to the City Hall station's lower level.
@@joestrike8537 Yes, the express tracks went toward the lower level. The express N/Q was originally supposed to go towards the west in manhattan, but there was a last minute change. Another last minute change for the city hall station caused the weird shape at the southern end of city hall. In the lower level, only 1 platform was completed. The other one didn't finish.
Trespasser I'm calling 911
I'm kidding
Lol
Hello elevating
@@razer5645 ea sports
I'm laughing so hard rn. Wheezing.
Hi is your fan I was gonna I live there can you go straight and turn left or you can see my house looks like I really like the The place Brooklyn
You say oldest subway tunnel 1844 the Thames tunnel is a year older at 1843 .
Not bad, but here's a secret to research - WHY did the local tracks of the IND Crosstown line break away from the express tracks before 15th St Prospect Park and then rejoin them before Ft Hamilton Parkway while the express tracks head toward the station under Prospect Park. There were at least two easier ways to build this line through Windsor Terrace.
I like these travels and thank u for not getting into trouble , its worth the effort
I took the tunnel tour with Bob Diamond back in 2008. I know exactly how to get in. There’s a manhole in the direct center of Atlantic ave across from the Trader Joe's building about a foot away from the white stripes of the crosswalk. Bob would setup a little workman's barrier around the manhole and the tour group would descend a latter to get into the tunnel.
Congrats on 17k GGST!
Your voice changes by high pitched to medium pitch
Do A G M LIRR A from far rockaway to hoyt schermerhorn G to court square M to herald square walk to penn station LIRR to brentwood
Didn’t know you were a Columbia alum! I applied a few years back but sadly got waitlisted and didn’t have the time to wait. I wish I could’ve gone there!
Omg, I live right on top of the cobble hill tunnel and never heard of it! I’ll definitely try the way to get inside!
11:57 lol that’s an XN40
RIP Bob Diamond.
My god, the music never stops.
Rip to Bob Diamond. He recently passed away I heard based on an Instagram post I came across.
Do the old West 4th and New lots Avenue and do the old Canal street station on the J M Z
fun fact that trader joe in atlantic ave ders a sewers which leads a hidden sercert tunnel & few blocks down ders a underground railroad slavery
How coincidental that this comes out a day after I got to see a close up of the abandoned 91 st on the 1 train. Coincidence I THINK NOT
7:07 lemon?!
I once went inside the abandoned 18th street station on the Lexington line it was really cool. I also visited the abandoned shed at the Central Railroad of New Jersey terminal in Liberty state park a few weeks ago in New Jersey. Really cool to see!
Wow 🤩 make more vids of this I love it
Love seeing things from my part of Brooklyn, and seeing the lower part of Bergen St station is really neat when the F goes express.
The Atlantic Avenue tunnel entrance is easy to find - Bob Diamond (who discovered it in 1980 or so) gave tours of it for decades and there is lots of footage of it on YT (the entrance is via the manhole right in the middle of the intersection). Not trespassing kind of defeats the purpose of these videos, or at least the fun of them. But I'm a fan of anyone who has an interest in the subways system and abandoned platforms/tunnels. I feel fortunate to have grown up here and to be old enough to have had the chance to explore them all in person before 2001 when trespassing wasn't as big of a deal. But seriously, I really enjoyed the video!
9:10 all you have to do is look out the window leaving Bergen St....you'll see the tracks leaving Bergen St.LL
Great video and production, only criticism, turn down the music to about half the level it is now..
Very cool video! I used to have to commute from Queens to Brooklyn for work (NYU) at one point and would utilize the entrance you've discovered daily lol. On a related note, the abandoned platforms at Hoyt-Schermerhorn have always piqued my interest.
There was a point when they ran express trains that used those outer tracks to the Aqueduct Race Track.
You forgot to check out the abandoned platform at atlantic avenue on the L train in brownsville
How did you do that you could find the abandoned station
Do you know what also is hidden underground? Our turds.
OMG HE DOSE SOMETHING COOL 0_0
that looks like F and G trains
I've been having a great great longing to GET IT ON in the SUBWAY 😂😂😂, ever since the scene from THE WARRIORS with MERCI begging 🙏 SWAN to GIVE IT TO HER ... RIGHT THERE in the TRACKS !!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 So Ladies ... if you date me and we're in a subway ........... 🤪 don't be surprised
Gold st station entrance is located on the side of gas station. Yellow metal cover is covering the stairs. Don't try to open it! It's alarmed! Another yellow cover is across the street in front of FDNY building I believe.
The lower level of the Nevins St station was initially constructed to make connections to the Manhattan Bridge through DeKalb Ave Station. This was before the BRT decided to use a 10 foot wide car width instead of the 8 foot 9 inch wide of the IRT cars.
The background music was so loud I could barely understand the speaking voice, and frankly it was so distracting I just watched the rest of the video with no sound. Too loud & distracting!
It was originally 3 Separate Companies, that's the reason that at some Stations depending on which Train Platform you're on, they have different names even though it's the same Station, they never dealt with it.
but this bergen has lower level and this a express and hoyt Schermerhorn abandoned station to bergen st but 1970 to lower level but this will fixed soon new light
Plz Next do ride the b61 to ikea next from 9 st
BERGEN: see the X on all the tiles in the stairwell? When they decided to remove all tile (because of water issues that were collapsing sections of tile) they score them with a cutter so that when they begin to chip away at the tile they more easily break off and apart. Ceramic tile is like glass where you dont need to do much but score or severely scratch it to allow it to break on that line. So clearly they got to this section of the tile in the stairwell and stopped work.
Also the block wall on the right from the blurry photo of the stairwell indicates that the stairwell was open to the fare control area to the right, even if it was kept separated by fencing. It must have been put up at the same time as the doors and when they re-tiled Bergen station. Bergen station's orginial tiles were the same as Carroll with the pearlescent green you see there.
The public art is by Tom Otterness! ✊🏾
I found out about brennen page about 5 or more years ago. The F train express lower level was a thing in the past but I guess they revamped it for the pandemic
Here are some abandoned stations for part 3 9th Ave lower level,Broadway Upper Level (J)(M)(Z),Times Square 42nd Street, Worth Street and I can't think of anything.
It's funny you and Jay street and right across by the signal is a roll up door where the money train used to stop and its tunnels there aremore tunnels but you can't see them unless your looking out the train window on the 4 and 5 trains and on the 2and 3 trains at bro hall station
most of the tations are not in surveilence the abandoned ones so i advise you to go to browery cananal street platform thts the easiest without even crssing platform
i went to the same station adn the door was wide open so i get there sometimes its locked sometimes not locked but closed my friends whent there i never got fined for tresspassing nor caught
;Thanks for this interesting and informative video, ST. Keep 'em coming! Cheers from Wisconsin.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people trip over those sculptures in the park and crack their skulls open.
I still remember when D trains ran on the Culver line prior to November 26, 1967.
you should check out 9th avenue lower level on the D train. It was in the Joker movie :)
Yes it was, I recognized it immediately when I saw the movie. The refuse collection trains go through it on the regular.
The loud and annoying "music" kills the experience. Wrote a fan.
It's interesting that in some "abandoned" areas the lights are still on.
WOAH Its a new series!!!!!
it was a series the WHOLE time :/
Bob Diamond "The Tunnel King" passed away a couple of days ago. 😢
Can you please visit any station in queens or the bronx for your next WTN
The f express is still a thing on weekdays!
It is?
Actually it’s suspended till further notice
they but 1965 or 1970 but they closed 2004 this a express
There mysterious and unique station more abandoned
one of my aunts friends told me how to get to the bergen street station. when i get older i wanna get in there. but the only problem is that you need to take a 5 minute walk along the ACTIVE TRAIN TRACKS.. so unless i get my hands on some meth or bathsalts i probably wont be doing it
Do the Old West 4th st and the Old new lots Avenue and do the old canal street on the J M Z
Like the secrets are obviously going to be in the bottom subway
that bergen st platform i went inside but it was amazing so many hidden gems in subways stations
Looking at Nevins was very Dope im a check that out one day
Why dont u do a vid on manholes.of course they say nyc sewer on them
That B63 was an XN40
But it different station 9:59 but this different but it far away
I heard there was an abandoned lower level Roosevelt Avenue Jackson Height’s station
And Lexington avenue 63rd street
wow there new subway station 7:07 they built 1999
Trainquest 11 : Secret subway station that was built for college kids. The engineer's wife didn't want to deal with college kids. So he had him remove it from the blueprints. Anyone have the link to that video? Been searching all day.
HOW WAS YOUR TIME AT CONY island
Urban Exploring for squares
The music is very annoying and unnecessary.
1. Emergency exit. Bet. Hoyt and Nevins.
2. Yup.
3. Try taking an inbound B train after the artwork there will be evidence of a station.
4. You would need something from the early to mid 1970s for vintage Bowling Green.
5. Oops, dead ball.
6. F seize the front window at Jay St. You'll see the express tracks going to 7ave/church Ave. Exp.
7. Manhole cover in the middle of Atlantic Ave.
ruclips.net/video/vZf4uKhVlHU/видео.html that’s why D went via F
Those brass sculptures (including the business-suited gator crawling out of the "NYC Sewer" manhole) in downtown Brooklyn are by sculptor Tom Otterness; his work is all over town, including the 14th Street 8th Avenue station and the Hudson River park somewhere north of the World Trade Center.
One entrance to Bob Diamond's tunnel under Atlantic Avenue is a manhole in the middle of the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Court Street. There was a picture of me climbing down that manhole that appeared on the front page of the New York Daily News sometime in the 1980s.

Track 3 is retired on Times Square
you mean't the shuttle platform
Yes
Popped up in my suggestion and you know what... I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought. You should take this to public access. (I live in Manhattan so I only know the MNN title but the other boroughs have film classes for $25. They teach you how to make your show or shows like this fun trip and you’ll be put on TV) I sound like an ad but I really enjoyed this and your voice is fun and kept me entertained 😍 oh and the shoes !!! We gotta get those kicks on TV !!!
Tunnels used for sex trafficking
Where'd you get those shoes?
so if u watch abandoned bowery st
Interesting
