South Ferry Loops (New York City Subway)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The South Ferry loops are a pair of New York City Subway underground stations in South Ferry, Manhattan that have been disused since March 2009. The stations, the southernmost in Manhattan built by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, are two side platforms on curved sections of track that form balloon loops; however, free transfers were unavailable between the platforms and each platform was meant to be served by its own line. The most recent configuration consisted of the IRT Broadway - Seventh Avenue Line on the outer loop platform and the IRT Lexington Avenue Line on the inner loop platform. Both stations are individually named South Ferry; the name "South Ferry loops" is used to distinguish these platforms from the successor station, South Ferry, that is used by the Broadway - Seventh Avenue Line's 1 service.
