When DeKalb was extended for eight car trains there was a set of switches immediately north of the original platforms which meant the extensions were built onto the southern end of the station. When these switches were replaced with the current set of flying junctions, the whole station was shifted slightly north to move it further from the curve. The disused bit of platform is part of the first extension that was abandoned when the station was moved.

2:00 That end of the platform used to visibly have a side platform. I used to always see it. In the 1990s or so they started using the space for new storage rooms. The main waiting room to the LIRR used to have a temp grate you crossed over that was technically permanent (you were crossing the road bed). Wish the old set up was still there. :/

I think that flashlight wave is a signal to all the other train workers to clear the tracks because a train is coming. I remember seeing this a few times back when I used to commute during off peak hours at night, crews would would sometimes be on the tracks between trains and they would do this whole routine, flashlight waving, whistle blowing, plus the train would honk its horn while pulling in very slowly. and workers would all find their particular cut aways to have clearance when the train pulls in.

The massive steel boat is just one part of the installation! It was sculpted by George Trakas and the whole installation is called Hook (Archean Reach), Line (Sea House), and Sinker (Mined Swell). The boat is Line. Sinker can be seen at 2:13. As you see on the walls, there's a granite wave! The wave runs along the walls and crests at the point where Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Street meet, linking the passageways. Referencing the names Atlantic and Pacific, the overarching concept is a place of landing and departure, functions shared by train stations and seaports. And yup, Masstransiscope is pretty cool! It was created in 1980 by Bill Brand! The artwork consists of 228 hand-painted panels and stretches across the whole 300-foot platform! The southbound platform was indeed removed. A new track had to be added on the west side to allow for a grade-separated crossing. The original southbound local track at the platform had to be depressed to a lower grade to cross under, and the new track wiped out the southbound platform.

At one time, the LIRR and IRT had a connection in the Atlantic Terminal. As a kid, LONG TIME AGO, you could see the switch. I heard is was for August Belmont's private car to get him into his Manhattan office from LI. He was the big guy at IRT at the time.

The word Knickerbocker has roots with Dutch settlers who in the 1600s made their way to the New World, especially the area of New York. The Dutch settlers in New York were known to wear a style of pants in which the legs were rolled up just below the knee. These pants were called Knickerbockers! The name Knickerbocker is believed to have derived from the Knickerbackers of Schaghticoke, New York who were descended from a Dutch immigrant named Harmen Jansen van Bommel, who went by several names including Herman Jansen Knickerbacker. At some point, the "e" at the end was changed to an "o." Fast forward 200 years to the year 1809 when a quite well-known author named Washington Irving wrote a satirical piece called "A History of New York from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty" Washington penned his piece under the name of Diedrich Knickerbocker. It was through Washington's book that the world was introduced to the word "knickerbocker"
