Speaking of the latter, was there a time in which you could walk from 6th Ave to 8th Ave entirely underground?Technically, yes. But the corridor from Sixth to Seventh Avenue is inside fare control, while the corridor from Seventh to Eighth Avenue is outside fare control. The corridor connecting 14-7 with 14-8 is still there in all its glory. The Seventh Avenue end is gated, but you can see through. The Eighth Avenue end is walled over, with only a door for entrance and exit. The corridor had employee offices and facilities built in there, and it's actually quite nice. Made use of them when I was working the platform at 14-7 one time. It was surreal leaving the delapidated 14-7, walking through the closed tunnel passage, opening the door, and suddenly appearing inside the clean, renovated 14-8 station, and hearing the (L) trains just below. Like stepping through a time vortex or something. Or a spacial anamoly. |
