Looking at old station plans from the time, it seems there was a long tunnel that connected the Brooklyn Bridge path to the uptown local platform (now sealed off). Pretty cool stuff nonetheless, just wish the MTA would look into repairing and finding better ways to use parts of the system that have been abandoned for decades rather than let them decay into complete uselessness. With all the traffic on that bridge, you would think they could figure out a way to connect it to the island platforms or something to help people out. I mean, if the original architects could have the foresight to think and build this stuff, why can't we have the basic ingenuity to continue to effectively use it?
