Photos of Manhattan's Abandoned Canal Street J/M/Z Subway Platform

The LTV Squad could possibly be one of the City's first modern-day urban explorers. For the past several decades, they have been sneaking into abandoned areas all around the City, then sharing photos of their explorations.

Recently, the squad posted a small set of older photos of the abandoned Canal Street J/M/Z subway platform. This station had't been abandoned for very long when the crew visited -- only a couple of years -- so it's in decent shape where you can get a good peek.

Here is how it looks today.
