What we’ve got here is a short section of 4 track station. Untiled, unused and never finished, it was built in anticipation of an IND ‘Second System’ subway line running through here. The second system sadly never came to be, and this space sits unused yet relatively clean and well lit.

This long abandoned area seems to have once been used by workers to slack off while on the job… you don’t see a lot of nooks like this anymore

Comments

NOTE: It sometimes takes a short while for comments to be approved - unfortunately there's a lot of spam comments that come in. I absolutely love when y'all share personal stories of friends relatives etc who worked in these places. It really helps capture what these places were like before they closed up shop.

If you're feeling salty, argumentative comments completely devoid of facts (supply links to support your argument) will not be published. Got a case to state? come with the details.
