Posted by RedbirdR33 on Wed Apr 13 20:54:48 2005 Here's another item that might be of interest to station fans.It is from a construction history of the Church Street-Trinity Place Line by the late Dave Rogoff. It appeared in the February 1967 issue of the New York Division Bulletin. Construction Route #5 Broadway-4 Avenue Subway Section 2 Rector Street Station - There is a sealed and abandoned entrance to the basement of the present (1967) American Express Building on the uptown platform as well as a never used space for a second set of entrances and exits on the same platform which would have opened onto Exchange Alley. The station was built to 7 (BRT Steel) cars lengths and was lengtthened to 8 (BRT Steel) car lengths in 1927. It is curreently (1967) scheduled to be lengthened to 10 (60 foot) car lengths.
