Summary
(26)City Hall Station, an abandoned station of the New York Rapid Transit subway, was originally the last stop at the southern end of the subway’ s interborough line. The station opened in 1904, and(27)was designed to be the most impressive station of the city’ s new subway system.
City Hall Station remained in use until 1945, when the station had to be closed due to certain changes in the city’ s subway system. As more and more passengers started to travel by subway, it became necessary to add more cars to subway trains. This meant that subway platforms needed to be extended to fit the longer trains. (28)However, City Hall Station was originally built with a short, curved platform, making renovations to the station difficult. (29)Rather than trying to rebuild it, officials chose to abandon it in favor of a nearby station, the Brooklyn Bridge Station. Apart from being easier to renovate, the Brooklyn Bridge Station was used by more passengers each day than City Hall Station. In its final year, City Hall Station was used by only six hundred passengers a day, a very small number for New York City. Thus, City Hall became a ghost’ station on the New York subway line, a modem underground ruin. Today, one subway line, the Number train, still passes through City Hall Station on its way north, but it does not stop.
In 1998, the New York Transit Museum reopened City Hall Station for tourists. (30)Due to the historic significance and beauty of this station, the New York Transit Museum schedules special tours of the station several times each year.
