Under Sixth Avenue between the 34th Street and 42nd Street stations was an underground passageway between the stations, I believe this passageway was the full width of the subway tunnel. In any cae, I believe a woman was raped there, who claimed that her attacker had hidden behind something inside the passageway. Some time after that the passageway was closed. This passageway was originally opened since the Sixth Avenue Elevated line the subway replaced had a stop at 38th Street, and this was a replacement.The 34th Street passageway via the old Gimbels Department store, I understand was actually a part of the private property of the store. When the store closed, and the Manhattan Shopping Center opened, there were issues concerning its ownership, maintenance, patrol, etc. So the passageway was closed. Mike |
