I went through that station every day for years on my way to work. You had to be in the front section of the train to get off at South Ferry - the platform was so short the rear of the train didn't fit.
That was the same for the A trin to West 4 . Made that mistake once being in the 5 car while half the car in the tunnel and I was on the Rockaway A so the transfer car doors were locked and I had to go all the way to Houston and walk back to the cage on West 4 . Thank goodness the day was nice and it was too cold or precipitated
After Superstorm Sandy hit NYC and flooded out the then new South Ferry Station, the loop was reopened until the opening of the renovated South Ferry Terminus.....
I went through there in 2014…it got a reprieve due to the damage to the new one. It was well-used back then, very crowded. That’s good for ridership. Very convenient to the ferry 👍
Damn, used to pass thru the station all the time on the 1 train from Van Cortlandt to Manhattan and back. Everything is still working, even the security cameras.. 😳😳😱
I thought the original South Ferry inner and outer loop were demolished and incorporated into the new terminal. Can someone provide a diagram how both the original and the new are situated to each other?
@@tedvalis6071 Sandy totally flooded most of the low part of NYC. Mermaid Ave Coney Island? the Sea Water was almost 5ft deep above the street and sidewalks. The normal water table in that area is about 7ft below street level. Buildings including Hospitals had emergency Back-up power generators, in their basements, they learned their lesson after Sandy hit.
The old S. Ferry Loop is just south of Bowling Green if you look at a subway map south of Rector the trains will cross over to the inner loop thats used for 1 line (or other miscellaneous trains), Outerloop is used now for the 5 trains or to turn trains back north. If you ever been on a southbound 2/3 train last stop Chambers Street 1 tk due to incident they will turn the train at S. Ferry Loop back north
@@christophermorales6056 The outer loop was once used by 5 trains which actually stopped there during evenings and weekends but 5 trains terminating at Bowling Green actually use the inner loop to reverse and head back uptown. The outer loop is operable and could be used to store an out of service train.
I assume the only way to see this station is if you stay on the 5 train on weekends when it turns around at Bowling green and has to use the inner south ferry loop! Then again, I don't know if the MTA allows this unlike the City Hall loop for the 6 train!
That station is not Abandon it’s used for movies and TV shows. Also just in case The New South ferry Station goes out of service they can use this station temporary like they did during Sandy
🤷♂🤷♂😊😊 makes a good horror seen tie up one of your enimes with cloth tie hands and put a few Mannequin down there and drug em when they wake up they would be tied down there and have to try and untie themself
Sad to see the vandalism. Used that station for years. While the new one is bright and clean it lacks the charm. Beautiful tiles!

I remember this loop. So much of NYC abandoned.

🎉They were still using it

I’m very surprise that the south ferry station looks very clean and not much graffiti than the others abandoned station . God bless .
Cause it's the most recent abandoned station I believe
dont worry itll get grilled
Brooklyn Bridge City Hall was abandoned around 1925-1950 and it DOESNT HAVE GRAFFITI!!!!!!
There was graffiti all over the place. People are such losers. 12:13 14:33
@@Amanda--- that was in the south ferry station.
well technically the tracks aren’t abandoned because 1 and 5 trains go there for storage but this is actually crazy…
Great video, loved the little surprise flashback photo.
Damn, used to pass thru the station all the time on the 1 train from Van Cortlandt to Manhattan and back. Everything is still working, even the security cameras.. 😳😳😱
14:57 1 train in service? I saw 1 train with a lot of people people put it at x0.25 speed all ull see it for 0.5 frames
*Love the beautiful tile portrait of the sailing ships, and of course the station name. Why didn't the city place those in the new station?*
I miss this station...
We all miss this old south Ferry loop station. However they will be definitely useing the shuttle trains between Boiling Green and south Ferry loop.
6-10 car passengers in south ferry:😭😭😭
wow I havent seen that station in years

IIRC the new platform and tracks are directly below the loop
@@lawfrmtheave So they were deeper than the loop; that's why Sandy flooded them?
