Amazingly, until about 1986 or 1987, there was no fence along the right side of the station (Christ the King HS side). There were holes cut in the chain link fence along the old Conrail tracks (now CSX), and you could walk right onto the Conrail tracks, walk up the embankment a bit, and then onto the subway tracks and onto the Metro Ave platform. There was no fence or anything between the Conrail tracks and the M tracks.
I didn't need to "sneak" in because I had a free subway pass, but I remember a bunch of kids always cutting in from the school.
