	Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This line was extended three stations under Nassau Street to Chambers Street beneath the Municipal Building at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge on August 4, 1913.
		When the Chrystie Street Connection joined the IND and BMT operationally in 1967, it did not change the Division boundaries, but it did break the strict assignment of types of car to one division of another.
		Prior to Chrystie Street, operation of a service on both divisions was exceedingly rare, until the QJ and RJ services were introduced in 1967.

		This is "the Village," from Broadway west to the Hudson River, bordered by Houston Street to the south and 14th Street to the north.
		It defies Manhattan's orderly grid system with streets that predate it, virtually every one chockablock with activity, and unless you live here, it may be impossible to master the lay of the land -- so be sure to take a map along as you explore.
		Streets are often crowded with weekend warriors and teenagers, especially on Bleecker, West 4th, 8th, and surrounding streets, and have been known to become increasingly sketchy west of Seventh Avenue in the very late hours, especially on weekends.

	Abandoned Stations : Chambers St closed platforms
		Chambers St station was opened in August 1913 as the terminal of the Centre St subway coming down from the Williamsburg Bridge.
		The outer tracks at Chambers St were connected to the new route while the inner tracks merged into a new tail track that ended a trainlength away.
		The Manhattan Bridge service became less and less important after 1960, and the re-routings of November 1967 cut off the last remnant when the track connection near Canal St was severed.

		And it's the line's Chambers Street station, whose uptown platform is largely unchanged for at least six decades, that I still believe fervently is the true face of the NYC subway system.
		Plans to connect the Chambers Street station to el service on the Brooklyn Bridge were on the books before construction of the station started, and the ceiling of the station was built especially high to accommodate such a connection, but it remained unbuilt.
		After the Nassau Street line was finished in 1931 the eastern platform at Chambers Street was closed, as well as the center platform; a station mezzanine is now in the basement of the Municipal Building, and there are also some closed staircases.

		Badger swept through Chambers Street in the 1850's, and he listed a dozen projects on the street, some entire building fronts like the Cary Building, but others simply intricate ground floor storefronts — like the one Isaac and Mary Jones put on the business building with which they replaced their house.

		The Manhattan Bridge connection was severed in 1967 as part of the Chrystie Street construction project, which reduced the importance of and number of trains served at Chambers St. If the extra platforms weren't needed in 1931, they certainly weren't needed after 1967.
