Actually the scariest train ride is the No. 4 going south from Grand Central to Union Square. I remember taking that train maybe a month or so after that horrific accident in August of 91 and realizing after passing through the 33rd street station that the train was doing at least 30 or 40 MPH. I think it's the only time I made eye contact with someone on the subway. We were both wide eyed and thinking the same thing, I hope this ******* remembers the sharp bend coming into Union Square and hits the breaks!
Possibly because I was a conductor for five and a half years, I have a slightly different perspective than some of you. But for me personally, the scariest station in the city is Cypress Hills on the J line--five minutes after the dismissal bell rings at Franklin K. Lane High School.
14th street union square. Watch out for moving gaps. The screeching noise of the trains pulling into the station pluss the heat of from the friction generated from the train makes the station unbearable. Another scary station is grand concourse 138th street its very empty, its like something out of a movie.
especially at nighttime: the tunnel on 191st Street #1 Train. The station itself is built 180 feet below sea level - yikes!
You have a looooooong walk to Broadway - like 3 blocks' worth. The kids/teens like to race their bikes through here, so watch out. Ever so often a homeless/drunk person makes this their home. At night time, you hear your footsteps echo - and someone else's as well.
The tunnel on the A Train's 190th Street stop is long also, about one city block. Takes you to Bennett Avenue, Ft Tryon Park and Bennett apartments. Very isolated at nighttime .
Speaking of depth how about the opposite. I was at the 9th avenue train station in redhook brooklyn that station is so high its not even funny. Station looks so old and ragged it looks like it can collpase any moment.
