Worth Ave Station And (R)

[NX Express]

About 10 years ago I rode the train out to Flatbush Avenue and looked through the Railfan Window�. Just as you're leaving the southbound Hoyt Street-Fulton Mall station, the tunnel widens a bit and you see a trackway that ramps down to another level. This leads down to the Nevins Street Lower Level. It's for a line that was never built. The station was redesigned after construction was already well underway ca. 1905-1908 and the platform was never-used. I only saw the lower level on the southbound side. Never on the Manhattan bound side.

There is no Manhattan-bound abandoned platform at Nevins St.

How was the lower level supposed to be used then?

Um, yeah I knew that. Anyways, I never said there was a never-used "Manhattan-bound" platform. The never-used lower level at Nevins Street only has one side platform, which is ONLY at the southbound side.
