New York Today: Miracle on 34th Street
Good morning on this bright Monday.
Redraw your maps; rethink your commutes. For the first time in more than a quarter-century, a new subway stop is open for business.
The Times’s transportation reporter Emma G. Fitzsimmons was at 34th Street and 11th Avenue on Sunday for the debut of the No. 7 subway station on the fast-developing Far West Side.
“The place was filled with a palpable sense of giddy excitement,” said Ms. Fitzsimmons, who watched as dozens of travelers flooded down the escalators and onto the platform.
The extended subway line is a descendant of the train lines that ran along 11th Avenue from the mid-1800s until 1941.
Barreling trains killed and mangled so many people that the route earned the sobriquet “Death Avenue.”
In 1908, for example, 7 year-old Seth Lowe Hascamp fell under the wheels of a freight car while playing with friends at 35th Street and 11th Avenue and was killed.
