WTC Token Booth
New York, NY - Peter - Wednesday, December 14th, 2005 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
This is the token booth at the World Trade Center, where I bought a train-pass on 9/10/01. It has been closed, hidden from view and boarded up behind a (re)construction barrier since the fateful day that two buildings fell, not 25 feet away from it...
I pass it each day on my commute, and it has been secluded behind a barrier for years... until yesterday. Apparently, it's been repaired and renovated, as its an old-style booth with a new finish on it, and is going back into service today.
It's sign bears the message "Have a nice day!".
Here's to reconstruction...

Wait. Which train line? I live not more than 600 feet away (have for more than 10 years) and was unaware that something had reopened, always a cause for celebration, in my book.

the wtc booth at the confluence of the WTC station/chambers street (E train)/Park place (2/3 trains) stop... where the old doors are still, and open from that station into the new PATH WTC station...
GGP: this is like an insane time capsule. "life before"
jack: is that rector street station? or cortlandt st.
Peter: see above comment from 14th Dec 2005 - 21:29

Jack the N/R/W line that goes to Cortlandt street is still not open. When you are on those trains it passes by and you can see the construction going on.
Peter: 16th Dec 2005 - 18:16 GMT
the n/r/w station was open, but jsut re-closed last month in order to complete the construction... its really going to be nice when all the construction there is finally finished...
Stacey: 16th Dec 2005 - 20:07 GMT
Thanks Peter I never knew it reopened. I agree - it will look nice when its done.
