The year was 2000 when this photo was taken. A World
Trade Center-bound train was
just clearing the Exchange Place station on its way into the tunnel under the Hudson
River. It is but one stop from here to the loop at the end of
the line in
Manhattan.
This station was closed for more than a year and a half following
the events of September 11th. When the station reopened service had
not resumed to Lower Manhattan, and thus for a brief
time trains terminated here, with newly installed crossover switches in
place to the west to allow appropriate train routing. |
