This was actually the original terminus for express trains on the line. The previous station, Canal St was originally a local station with the express tracks bypassing through the center as usual and then diving down to City Hall’s lower level and ending there. Unlike most similar lines which were originally designed for local trains to short-turn and express trains to continue, this was vice-versa. Nowadays, the express tracks have been cut short just before Canal St and then they turn east to stop at their own new express platforms at the same station before heading to the Manhattan Bridge and the remaining express tracks from Canal St to City Hall’s lower level platforms have been repurposed as storage tracks. This is why Canal St’s upper level looks like a typical local station and yet, its “express” trackways end within the northern end of the station due to the tunnel entrance/exit being in its way.

Granted you didn't want to get caught but I mean could you have at least shown up some of the stairwells and ladders? You are going through so fast swinging that camera on so bad I get seasick just trying to watch this thing and you got decent video but the problem is you're not using it?

Good thing they left all the lights on, the rats hate commuting in the dark.

SuperCREEPY . How the fvkk do you get access to those things ???

Sheesh what train usedto run through this station?

That is not abandoned that’s just this use in revenue service some W trains are store down there

Yo Dawg! Keep up the good work!

Why can I hear voices throughout the video? Like as if there are people, is it those above chatting as this is the lower Level ?

Too bad they couldn’t clean up some of those abandoned areas and use them for something other than a dumpster.

Yall need to stop walking in these stations without a respirator. You can die from this stuff, asbestos etc. Please we love the videos, just make sure your wearing a respirator.

1:04 an unknown sound came from city Hall(bellow the station)

looks like this place had been used as some sort of an office space for some time

why NLN gotta slap my boy for 😕

3:36 What’s down there?

I'm surprised there isn't any homeless there, with the free electricity

3rd rail not active? Give it a tap....... let's really see if it's not active

Watch the watch

Question what is the reason you not choose your face

Sadly the station cut in half for the 7 line extension to 34th st

0:44 oh hell no

Where’s the location?

Our old Recon room was down there where we worked out of the Vandal Squad. Keep in mind that you are taking a risk if you are caught and will be charged with "3d degree criminal trespass'. which is a misdemeanor offense under New York Penal Law 140.10 which involves: Entering the property of another.

The original purpose was the upper platform was the last stop and the lower platform was a part of express/local until Manhattan Bridge connected to express/local Lower level is used to store trains now

Not too smart to be walking around like that. I worked for NYCT and CHL was one of my locations that I worked from. As an employee I didn't like to go down on the lower level to get my train. Junkies, homeless and who knows what else lived there. If something happened no one would know until the next shift found your body hours later in the morning .

Which city hall is this??

What city is this in?

Interesting! A map would have helped us understand exactly where it is.

Are u like a 100% there aren’t any.. idk.. big turtle people that happen to be around the transitional period age wise between adulthood and childhood who enjoy Japanese culture specifically dressing up as midcentury Japanese guards and assassins hanging around down there?

How did u losers get down there

I assume that this is an abandoned NYC subway station .,?? Thanks for the upload!!

Wow, a men's room! I'm glad you spent so much time filming that. 🙄

What a waste of good space. Oh well.

there's a functioning station in the same area that's even creepier.

Gang scrap

It was once used for Aquaduct Racetrack Specials in Express service from there til around 1976. It ran on the A line.

PABT my favorite station to jump the turnstile fuck yeah

Wow! Cool, and creepy 🤷🏻‍♂️🚇

Was this the lower level station used in the 1990 film GHOST? I swear this looks the platform Patrick Swayze learned to push objects from the homeless ghost! Either this very platform, or the one under 50th Street.

how did u get down there

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Why are there Running lights?

So which area of the station is where the 7 train tunnel cuts through?

Cool Video 📸 Thanks 👍 for Sharing Your Video.

Great Video 🎥👍👍👍👍👍

Instead of the hotel you can bring a chick down here for the low low.

I still remember when that lower level was in use. I used the underpass once or twice.

The tunnel could turn west and go to jersey to complements the path

I always wonder how these guys never get caught tresspassing like that?

yo how u get in?

The contractors should be fined daily until they clean it up! Send the video to news outlets!
