a "functioning" station?

Should we change the following: "However, it is still a functioning subway station,...." Doesn't this seem to imply that the station still serves as a passenger stop? Elsquared (talk) 06:59, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It could still be a functioning station; All it needs are turnstiles in the mezzanine. The booth still exists, and tracks are still powered. If the Second Avenue Subway is extended past Phase 4 into Brooklyn, it could connect up here and be re-opened. Acps110 ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:11, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What I'd like to know is, if the Second Avenue Subway were extended to Brooklyn, would it still function as a museum? Because for some reason I have a bad feeling it wouldn't. ----DanTD (talk) 22:21, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If the SAS were extended, no it couldn't stay as a museum. The lower level at Ninth Avenue could be used. That would provide two tracks and two platforms, so it probably would be comparable to the amount of space the museum has now. The northbound local track could be walled off so yard operations at 36th-38th Street Yard are unaffected. The ends of the platforms and the tunnels could be sealed with doors like is done at Court Street. It would take quite a bit of renovation, but it could be done.

Image request

Can anybody get an image of the entrance on the corner of Court Street & Schermerhorn Street? ---------User:DanTD (talk) 05:56, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

R1 #100 and R4 #484 are now displayed

I visited the museum recently (11 July 2024) and the two Arnines were on display on the A1 track. I inquired about it to a museum staff member, and she told me the cars had been experiencing many mechanical difficulties as of late. As a result, they were permanently set as museum cars for the foreseeable future.

I also have a picture of #100 to add to this page that I took myself, if that is ok. Stevemc01 (talk) 17:47, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
