  • The Myrtle Ave. Station opened in 1915 and closed in 1956. The southbound platform has been destroyed and replaced with tracks while the northbound platform remains and in 1980, the MTA built an art installation called the Masstransiscope. The animation art can be seen from a Manhattan bound B or Q train just after DeKalb Ave.

      @@BrianGomez8888 The B, Q, and late night D are the trains that pass along the track right next to the abandoned station that now houses the artwork. That is, trains that depart from the wall track at DeKalb Ave (northbound). If it is visible at all from the daytime D and N (which use the bypass tracks through DeKalb Ave. station), it would be from a greater distance.

    Funny how you're allowed to showcase this and even be down there without anyone coming to knock on your door questioning you. Not even track workers have this freedom to be in abandoned areas of the system without good reason. Flagging permissions need to be set up and a detailed explanation why they need to be there in the first place. Going there without permission and then filming it will have all NYC authorities looking for the workers involved. Such female privilege these days.
