Posted by gbs on Sat Jan 10 22:13:40 2026, in response to [VIDEO] Exploring the IND 174th-175th Street Station Abandoned Mezzanine, posted by Bill Newkirk on Fri Jan 9 15:15:32 2026. This is a great video, so thanks for posting it! I'm fairly familiar with this station, though I've never seen the closed section in person. What confuses me is the first staircase shown from 1:11 to 1:27: narrow, three-flight zig-zag stairs. Where do they start and who would use them? From their length, it seems that they start at the upper mezzanine and bypass the platforms and go straight down to the lower (closed) mezzanine. What is their purpose? The rest seems self-explanatory: from the entrance on 175 St, up a flight to the lower mezzanine, then either to the right for a flight up to the downtown platform or to the left for the uptown platform. Were the residents ever able to go from the Grand Concourse down to 175 St through the station out of fare control (like at 190 St (A))? It doesn't appear so from this video, but what other purpose could that narrow staircase serve? |
