NYC - Chinatown - Canal Street Subway Station Canal Street was originally a stream that ran from what was once the "Collect Pond", north of present-day City Hall, to the Hudson River. By the early 19th century, in the wake of a yellow fever epidemic, the pond had become seriously polluted and was identified as a health hazard. In 1805, to drain off the pond, the stream was widened into a canal--hence the name--and both were filled in over a decade later. Opened on January 5, 1918, Canal Street on the BMT Broadway Main Line, serving the N, R and W trains, has four tracks and two side platforms. However, only the local tracks provide through service on the BMT Broadway Line; the "express" tracks, which have never seen revenue service, begin at the lower level of City Hall station and run north to Canal Street, dead-ending about two-thirds of the way through. As part of the Dual Contracts, these express tracks were to have continued up Broadway, fed by traffic from Brooklyn via the Montague Street Tunnel; local service was to have terminated at the upper level of City Hall. That plan was dropped in favor of local service via City Hall upper level and Montague Street and express service via the Manhattan Bridge. Today, just north of this station, the tracks from the south side of the Manhattan Bridge rise up and replace the stub-end express tracks from City Hall lower level. The station was renovated between 1999 and 2004, restored to its original appearance, with with new mosaics featuring Chinese characters. The symbols on the red wall plaques mean "money" and "luck," and the "Canal Street" name tablet has ideographs that actually read "China" and "Town." The Canal Street complex The complex consists of four originally separate stations joined by underground passageways. This BMT Broadway line connects to the 4 and 6 trains on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line; the J, M and Z trains on the BMT Nassau Street line; and the N and Q trains on the BMT Broadway Manhattan Bridge line. / VFL.Ru — надёжный и быстрый фотохостинг с 2009 года
