The station shell crosses Fulton something other than an absolute right angle but I'm not sure of the degrees of the angle it crosses at. What I did notice when I was in there is that the columns in the center of the platforms that hold up the roof of the station do not match the alignment of the Utica subway but actually match the alignment of the Fulton St subway below. Also, when I was in there in 1983 there were openings in the platforms with steep ramps that were intended to have stairway steps installed and since Structure Dept was doing work in there at the time they had wooden barricades around them to keep employees from falling down and the area was well lit. If at some point, anyone had gone in there at some other time when there was no lighting and no barricades, they might have fallen down the stairway spaces and nobody would have known they were there until the time when the sealed up stairways on the lower level platforms were removed. I have heard that since the stairway infrastructures on the lower level have been removed, the stairway cutouts on the upper level platforms have been sealed. |
