Canal Street

Posted by BroadwayLion

Canal street is not near a canal. It WAS a canal before it was filled in and called Canal Street. Hundreds of years later somebody dug a subway under canal street, and then wondered why it was always wet down there. Still the LION required a Canal Street station on the layout of him. Look closely and you will see that the LION built a single track station where a two track station should have been. This track heads into the South Ferry loop and returns on the other side of the table. LION took photographs of the opposite platform while in New York, and affixed these to the wall to give the station the appearance of a complete station. The platform is Fiberglass insulation obtained at a construction site, the pillars are nails with printed card stock to make the square H beams found in this station. These support the light bar holding 48 LED lamps salvaged from Christmas sets. The station will be covered so this view will not be exposed to the level above. Viewers will need to get down on their knees to see inside of the station, but that is not my problem, It will look just fine from the video camera mounted on the front of a subway train.
