Posted by bigrene22 on Thu Mar 12 12:10:36 2009, in response to Tunnel stubs, posted by bigrene22 on Tue Mar 3 18:49:05 2009. Finally got the chance to see the never used short section of the shell station above the Utica Avenue Station on the A/C lines. It was really easy to get in. In other words no locked doors. The station as a whole is mostly mezzanines. One level layered on top of another in order to fit everything. On one closed off level of mezzanine I was able to touch the ceiling very easily. I am 5'10" and I would say the ceiling was 6'6". On the mezzanine there are two staircases that go down to other mezzanines. One on each side of the unused station. There were four staircases at one time but on one side of the mezzanine are now offices for different functions. After going down the staircase (either one) make a 360 and there is an open doorway that leads right to the local trackway. The station is on a diagonal and is a typical express station with four trackways and two island platforms. The station is as long as the A/C lines downstairs are wide. The platforms end about an inch or two away from the walls. There are no staircases on the platform and no tilework whatsoever. I couldn't help but stand there on the station platform and wonder what might have been. |
