When I first became a clerk, the people in my training class were assigned vacation relief. We had to fill out bid sheets for our first assignment. We all did. One girl in my class "forgot" to pick up her bid sheet and was "assigned" the PM tour at the transfer booth at 149th Street-Third Avenue. Everybody else got plum assignments/ We all kidded her about it for years.At the Canal Street station where the downtown R and W trains stop there were two sets of stairways that were used to transfer to N, Q, J, M, and Z trains. At the Canal Street station for the J,M and Z trains I'm sure there was an street exit on the north side of the Street. IIRC that exit was removed about 1979-80. Alot of the underpasses in the subway were covered over. e.g. Astor, 23/B'way, I heard at the time people were being mugged and/or raped on the overnight. Hoyt-Schermerhorn had alot of open space on the station. A Michael Jackson video was shot in the south end mezzazine. And many movies shot in NYC used the abondoned platforms for subway scenes. |
