Thanks for the link. It is truly an astounding station.


I managed to get a ride through it a few years ago, but most of the
lighting was off at the time. I've heard that they don't throw
passengers off the 6 train at Brooklyn bridge any more, so it's easy
to do it now. It's not far from the old Court Street station where
the Transit Museum is now, so worth doing both at the same time.


.. except for the fact that the loop and the transit museum are in

different boroughs.

Assuming that you rode the loop first, you would have to cross back over
to the downtown tracks, at Brooklyn Bridge - City Hall, get on a
Lexington Line train for another four stops to Borough Hall in Brooklyn
and then walk another two or three blocks to Court Street station.


Different boroughs, but not far apart, and it doesn't take long to get from
one to the other. Anybody who was interested in seeing one would be quite
likely to be interested in the other. I would guess 20-25 minutes to get
from one to the other? It's several years since I did it, so I can't
remember exactly how long it took.
