The outer platforms at Hoyt-Schermerhorn were also used in Nighthwaks, The Warriors and Crocodile Dundee II. The Myrtle Ave. station closed in July of 1956.

8:02 Ah yessss ... the 'money train' .
Back in the '80's after a long night of clubbing, with one eye still functioning I do recall (I think) seeing the gravy train whilst I in those wee hours suck oxygen waiting on an A to pull into W4 St.

The Hoyt-Schermerhorn Sta was also used in the Diana Ross version of "The Wiz" & again in Eddie Murphy's "Coming To America". Also, the Franklin Avenue Shuttle line was once a 2-Track configuration once you got outside of the Franklin Ave sta. The MTA closed the Dean Street sta for 3 reasons:
Close proximity to Franklin Ave Station,
Astronomical amount of Fare-evasion,
and lastly the Station overall never saw any upkeep or renovations and fell into a disrepaired state - the wooden platforms were extremely old & falling apart as were the stairs that led up to them. It was also a Station that saw a lot of crime (70's thru 80's) & you didn't want to make a routine of catching trains there at that time. The station closed for good in September of 1995 and was demolished completely and plans for a revised right-of-way began which consisted of a single track configuration to Eastern Pkwy-Botanical Garden where it becomes 2 tracks.

Fantastic video! They also filmed the Michael Jackson video "Bad" at the Hoyt-Schermerhon station in the mezzanine, they had the old wooden turn styles back then, lol. The 36 street station on the 4th ave line also had similar work like Dekalb Ave. Originally south of the station they were to build a 4 track branch off toward the west end but they opted for 2 ramps instead & a large portion of the mezzanine was abandoned. You can see the tunnel were one ramp would be on the south bound R local, 2 other tunnel would be at the space occupied by the platforms then there is a belmouth to the right of the northbound local. The first Crocodile Dundee movie, the final scene, was done at the 9th ave station (Lower level). I love these info videos.

These are some great shows about parts of the subway or rapid transit system that are unnoticed to the public. They are recognized by some transit employees and most railroad buffs. I am one.

Continuing your look at abandoned entrances and spaces, may I also point out:
- There's a closed-off full mezzanine and stairs at 7th Avenue (Q/B), and what looks like space at street level for an additional stairway.
- There's an entrance to the Bedford-Nostrand Aves (G) station that was closed and boarded up.

If you look at the southbound platform at Ditmas Ave, the platform edge markings are still in place from when that platform was still an island.

Right before 36th Street, there's a bellmouth on the northbound local track that would have crossed under in an abandoned plan to run a branch to the water along 39th Street.

I just found your page a few dayās ago. And I love your videos about the history of nyc train system.

Heading west on the Fulton Ave line, there's a tunnel that branches off to nowhere right before the local train enters Broadway Junction. This would have been a connector to run trains under Jamaica Avenue heading north.

What nostalgia! As a kid I used to take alot of these lines and used to wonder about all the uncompleted sets of tracks and such that I'd see in my travels. Awesome video.

Behind the wall to the right of the NB local track at 36th St & 4th Avenue just south of the station is the remnants of 39th St station. There is a ceramic tile wall that has 39th St in tile that I saw with my own eyes in 1988. Also, at 95th St on the R, there are bricked up niches in the northbound side station wall. South of 59th St & 4th Ave station there is a provision for 2 more tracks where the R crosses over the Bay Ridge Branch. The ends of what would be roadbeds are bricked up, not poured concrete like the rest of the tunnel walls. There is also a provision for trains to run down under 36th St & 4th Ave station that you can see from local or express tracks south of 36th St station. It follows the incline that the D line uses south of 36th St and runs directly underneath it. In Manhattan, if you take a Brooklyn bound R from Whitehall St. you can see a short length of capped tunnel that turns right and ends that is a short distance south of Whitehall station. That was built in case a connection was ever going to be made between lower Manhattan and Staten Island.

Thank you for the coverage on the abandoned 59th station to Staten Island. I read that there was another buried tunnel underneath Owl's Head Park in Brooklyn, but you have a much better description. I've always wondered about that metal gate on the Jay St station and now I'm informed.

2:13 this is like in Boston where a planned I-625 was meant to be built but never happened. Once Zakim was built and the southbound exit 18 (old exit 26) was moved part of this 1960s bridge was used to exit. The other double deck exit remained abandoned still visible to drivers.

I had a secret subway free-access point at an exit-only part of a station near the WTC and J&R Music World, whenever I cut class, I'd go down there and squeeze through gap at bottom of the floor-to-ceiling exit turnstile... I can't remember what train it was there that gave me access to the rest of the subway system... probably the J/M(?)
