Thanks.Nice photos at the link. During the 90's field trips, the northbound tunnel was accessible at Sedgwick - there was some kind of very wide, up and down rolling garage style gate - that resembled security kind of gates you see in storefronts. At the Jerome-Anderson platform, there was an open entrance (possibly previously sealed by a door?) where you could enter the length of the platform that was in tunnel, and from there climb down to the former right-of-way. A woman was on that first field trip, who had grown up in the neighborhood during the 50's and remembered and rode the shuttle, when it was in operation. She also said, that for awhile, after abandonment, the entire structure - tunnels and platforms, were acessible. She and her friends would explore it, and play hide and seek throughout it - serendipity of someone like this showing up on a tour, and then having these great stories about it - another typical "only in New York story." :) |
