[VIDEO] Urban Explorer Reveals Union Square Subway Platform Shut Down In 1910

That platform was once visible and could be seen from the uptown 14 St. IRT platform, just across from the local track. There was even an open but narrow staircase on the mezzanine, with just a single chain across its top leading down to it. I always enjoyed that glimpse into the station's past, but sometime in the 1980s or 1990s that wall was built, hiding the platform from view and the staircase leading down to it was removed & the floor paved over.
