List Of Closed New York City Subway Stations

Its predecessors—the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT), and the Independent Subway System (IND)—were consolidated in 1940. Since then, stations of the New York City Subway have been permanently closed, either entirely or in part. The largest number of closed New York City Subway stations consist of stations on abandoned and demolished elevated lines, that were once operated by the IRT and the BMT, (both of which were privately held companies.) After their takeover by the City of New York (the IND was already owned and operated by New York City), the three former systems were no longer in competition with each other. Thus, elevated lines that duplicated underground lines were the first to close. Other elevated lines that did not create a re ...
