I went on a Transit Museum tour called “Curios of the IRT” back in 1996. We toured the same closed side platform area at BB but not the closed station at Worth. Instead we toured the closed inner platform at SF. |

It was a Transit Museum tour as I did it in the early 90's. It was led by a Train Service Supervisor from the 6 Line. We visited the abandoned 91st Street station on the 1, then both 18th and Worth on the 6, City Hall and the N/B platform at BB. |

The former IRT trackway shown in the photo is now a narrow hot corridor that eventually leads past a very, very hot signal equipment room next to the Grand Central Station Tower/Crew Reporting office. The trackway is now lined with various MoW storage, offices, and communication rooms.The place is just plain nasty!!! |
