In the 1950's the stations along the No. 1 line were lengthened to accommodate longer trains. You can tell this in the various stations at one end or another. This applies to all the stations including the 96th and 86th St. stations. Yet if the 91st St. station had been lengthened, that would have meant that the train would pull out of it almost immediately into the 96st St. or 86th St. stations due to the short 5-block distance. (For non-New Yorkers, north-south blocks in New York are very short). They decided simply to close 91st. So the 91st St. station was never lengthened and if they stopped a train there today the entire length of the train would not have access to a platform.

All I know with some abandoned stations is that only way to access some from the street is probably from a hatch or manhole meant for inspecting the tunnel.

In the summer of 1997, I went with a group of other railfans on a tour called Day One On The IRT. Our group went on the southbound platform of the abandoned 91st Street Station. We would pile into the lead car of the 1 downtown local at 96 Street station ,the operator would stop at the middle of the platform, and our tour guide opened the lead door of the first car. Once we were out, the train went on its way to its destination. After our guide gave the best explanation he could in between trains of all sorts roaring through the tunnel, he would communicate to the dispatcher that we were ready for pickup on the next downtown local. Sure enough, the 1 local slowed up, he opened the lead door of the first car, we piled in, and we were on our way to the next destination of our tour. It was a blast seeing the R-62's and the classic Redbirds in their element racing through the tunnel to their destinations!!

Very dangerous dude. Just a heads up. Some of these tunnels have sensors that will trigger if you are in a restricted area and will notify that cops of someone in the tunnel and of course if any conductor or train operators see someone in the tunnel it will cause all trains to stop because nobody wants to hit someone.

@reggierodriguez65467 жыл бұрын
Ethan, go with at least 2 of your buddies and leave the bat home. Don't carry that extra weight. Put some gloves on before going into the tunnel, always be careful with the third rail because it's electrified, bring a mask to protect yourself from breathing potential harmful dust and asbestos that may be in air on the abandon station such as 91 st, Bergen st. Etc. Bring a plastic bottle of rubbing alcohol and bandages in case you or your buddies gets cut along the way. Make sure your skin such as your arms and legs are not exposed. Know the times that the next train will run through the tunnels. The schedules are listed in the mta website. When you're running in the tunnels, don't make too much noise, when you're at the station, don't talk loud. Make sure no mta employees sees you. If you see a rat don't run away, scare it away instead. I have been in the tunnels before when I was a teenager. It feels like a rush and your life flashes before you
