The Delancey Street Trolley Terminal | Tales From the Subway

The Delancey Street Trolley Terminal has sat abandoned for over 70 years, and recently, there have been attempts to possibly reactivate it, or turn it into something greater. In this video, we go over the history and the future of the Underground Delancey St Trolley Terminal.

It would be interesting if the old trolley terminal can build tracks to rebuild a new island platform with buffers for Terminating M trains so that M can terminate there in weekends and late nights instead of cutting farther to Myrtle, also there will be less delays as sometimes in Delancy an M train may have to wait between the tunnel and the bridge to wait for an M train to go to the other side, or go with you plan to make the station like Penn station but one additional track on the left will run slightly left and end as a terminating track, much like Manchester Oxford Road in the UK

My dad sees this from Delancey Street station every day during his commute. I believe I was one of the folks who suggested this video a while back. Great job 👍

As somebody who drives over the Williamsburg Bridge every weekend, I finally understand why the “two-lane” outer roads are so frustratingly narrow, and why you can’t pass another car in the “left lane”.

They should build a transit museum in that space.

This historical show has been excellent. As another railroad buff, I must admit that I will not stop learning.

[@ajawalker2290]

Wowie! So much information I've learned from this video! Thank you so much for sharing buddy! Kudos and cheers to you!

The Underground Park would be Cool for Railfaning. Ofc they would have to cover up the Open Section where the Trains Pass.

Mystic: The Nonexistent Line

I feel like this only trolly terminal can be used for train storage or a seprate platform for terminating M trains or Terminating J trains for Short Turn rush hour service, Simular to WTC and Chambers Street on 8th av and the station could be used to not cause delays at bowery when M trains turn from Bway-Laff to Essex St Infront of a J train or a nonexistant Z train.

This is perfect timing, I was just reading into this after seeing it for the upteenth time last weekend

[@MidnightAspec]

That’s fascinating!! Never knew of this existence!!

[@blackberrybrooklyn7371]

Interesting video I just thought that side was a result of more train platforms and it became abandoned. The space should be used for passengers who have late night commutes or a small little resteraunt/food space. That's why I always feel that the Williamsburg bridge is very unique. I just hate the ugly red coloring for the walkways.

If it’s going to be turned into a park, one might think that there would be thick concrete walls and cinder glass blocks to separate so people won’t wander onto the tracks….

[@Animal_grew728]

That space should be a train yard

[@8avexp]

The rails are still in place, too. They felt there was no need to pull them up since they were out of harm's way.

I wish NYC bought out the streetcar lines tbh, would have the biggest system in America

[@hachikos]

omg crazy how i never noticed this considering i'm at delancey & essex almost every day! these vids are always so informative

[@lightning77125]

Awesome video, I love Tales From the Subway.

DC used to have a similar underground trolley hub in Dupont Circle. The former entrances can still be seen blocked off around the circle, but a portion of the tunnel is used as a small contemporary art museum called Dupont Underground. It closed in the 60s to make way for the then-proposed Washington Metro.

The terminal tracks seem straight into the bridge without much of a curve like the current tracks in use. Would be nice if we can make the trains in and out of the station faster. Currently it’s a major delay point.
