EE Broadway Local Posted September 3, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 3, 2009 This is something I've never thought about but do the three subway tunnels to The Bronx have names? Subway tunnels to Brooklyn and Queens have names such as Montague Street; Rutgers Street; Cranberry Street; 53d Street; 60th Street and 63d Street. PATH has the Morten Street Tunnels. I don't think the Fourteenth Street-Canarsie Line tunnel has a name either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayBuffer Posted September 4, 2009 Share #12 Posted September 4, 2009 Actually it's called the Cranberry Tube. I've heard a number of them referred to as "Tubes", although I don't know if that's official or just colloquial. I also never heard of the Morten Street Tunnel for PATH, not that I'm doubting if that's the name, but I've always just thought of them as the Hudson Tubes.

ROFL; that made my day. No one else ever heard it being called the Fulton St tunnel, even if it carries the Fulton St line trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in my response did I laugh at you or anyone else. Also I have been here for several years too, since '07. While that track map may say Fulton Street tunnel for some odd reason, that as stated by others is neither it's common name or what they TA uses.

Eric B Posted September 4, 2009 Share #18 Posted September 4, 2009 I've never heard of it being called that either. Never heard that one before, any TA papers I have seen call the and tunnel the Cranberry St Tunnels. If you look at the very entrance to the tunnel, right where the tile ends on the curved wall, you'll see a vertical white sign saying "CRANBERRY [forgot whether it was "tube" or "tunnel")". I know some of the others have that too, at least Rutgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't laughing at you. Just enjoyed Zman's tart wit. But honestly, it did come as a surprise when you said "Fulton St tunnel" instead of Cranberry St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted September 4, 2009 Share #22 Posted September 4, 2009 Does anyone know what the tunnel under the Newtown Creek carrying the Crosstown Line is called? I don't think that tunnel has a name, since it's not really a major crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutgers Tube Posted September 4, 2009 Share #23 Posted September 4, 2009 I don't think that tunnel has a name, since it's not really a major crossing. That's really an accurate statement. It may not have a name, per se, but it's the only underwater tunnel carrying train traffic on that line. It's major enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not have a name, per se, but it's the only underwater tunnel carrying train traffic on that line. It's major enough. I misworded my statement. Yes, it is a major crossing, as it does carry train traffinc between Brooklyn and Queens. There are two bridges that carry vehicular traffic between Brooklyn and Queens that have names, so I don't know why Crosstown's trunk line doesn't have one.

Lexington Avenue Tunnel - Between 125th Street and 138th Street-Grand Concourse/3rd Avenue-East 138th Street. As for the tunnel on the between 1st Avenue and Bedford Avenue, it's the 14th Street Tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
