Full Exploration of Abandoned 42nd Street Lower Level Train Station in NYC

[@jeffinjersey9094]

Back in the mid 60's I was living and working in Manhattan and on Saturdays I would take (Round trip btw) the IND "Aqueduct Special" to the Big A from this platform. Greatest train ride in America, loved it

[@haroldalexis4200]

The last time i saw this part of The A C & E TRAIN LOWER LEVEL was the early 1970's . Coincidence i was just there prior to the Thanksgiving holiday not realizing what once was & is still there, amazing.

This subway station was featured on Patrick Swayze's GHOST movie becomes a GHOST station.

This is where he learned to move objects from the other ghost

[@mitch4527]

The platform had only been closed nine years at that time so it was still in decent condition. The single track was still connected to the downtown local track that ran to the upper level of the station so trains could be run through the station during the scene (which was done, although in the wrong direction).

Right when you was about to inspect that hole-in-the-wall something happened. God damn it

The stairs were there up until the mid 90s I believe. I’m not sure exactly when the station’s lower level is closed but I do remember the stairs still being there and they just put chains over them. And then they actually close the stairs up somewhere around the mid 90s late 90s early 2000s I think.

Hi thks for this is there any way you can tell us where this is on 42nd St also i know where where the original connection is for the Times Square line in1904 then under 42nd St its the shuttle line between Times Square and Grand Central but where is the tracks that connect with the Park Ave South Line Thanks again

[@TheProSpyOfPiggy]

It’s blocked off since the 7 train

[@mrxman581]

Interesting. How many abandoned subway stations are there in NYC? In a weird way I wished LA Metro was old and big enough to have abandoned stations.😊

[@juliopalaciosjr595]

How can i get there ?

[@jeffinjersey9094]

BRUTAL camera work, too helter skelter, slow down! Looks like a graffiti art gallery!

[@thatdonkey7215]

What train ran through here? What was it for?

[@bonusyt6413]

The A,C and E trains

[@1575murray]

@@bonusyt6413 Actually only rush hour E trains used it as well as the Aqueduct Special trains. It did not have any track connection to the A and C trains.

[@E-man5375]

Rush hour E trains but the platform hasn’t been used since 1981 and it’s unclear as to why it was built in the first place

[@thatdonkey7215]

@@E-man5375 I did some research on it. Apparently it was built more as a block to prevent the IRT from building the current 7 train west. When they were building the Hudson Yards extension, they had to punch a hole in this platform for the 7 train tunnel

[@bigaidan5375]

broooo howd u get there?

[@Dootiezzz]

[@glori30175]

is this the East side??Under the Irt?

[@8avexp]

This is the lower level at 42nd St. and 8th Ave. Single platform and one track, directly below the s/b local track.

[@julianplayz4812]

They could remake that station for the T train in the future

[@RascalTrainz]

That’s not going to happen, a portion of the station was destroyed because of the 7 line expansion

I thought they used this platform for filming movies and TV shows. Whyt is it so decrepit?

[@Shinycelebi]

They haven't used it for filming in years. The 7 extension goes right threw it, so they don't have a reason to keep it nice looking.
