Myrtle Avenue

From the front of an R40M B train we can see the abandoned remaining platform of the Myrtle Avenue subway station just before going over the Manhattan bridge. The long low wall on the platform is the defunct masstransiscope.

After the end of the video, did the R40M go left or right?

[subwaymacfreak]

It went to the right.

What model video camera do you use, I can tell it is HD and records excellent quality in those dark subways.

[subwaymacfreak]

I use a Canon HV20. It surprised me how well it did in the subway the first time I used it there.

I just went to the Canon website and checked out the specs, that is a very nice camera. I will try to get one and do some taping on CTA during our next railfan trip.

Indeed it is. Its test run was actually recorded in Chicago on the 'L'... if you can still call it that underground too.

Now that I realize you're almost always gonna past a ghost station, i'm kinda afraid to take the NYC subway...well at least Masstransiscope is restored.

why did it close

[mikethegent]

@4P3607 when the DeKalb Interlocking was upgraded in the 50s....the northbound was abandoned,southbound was razed during the upgrade construction

[4P3607]

I think it was abandoned thanks to the DeKalb Maze.
