RE: (erielack) Three strikes and I'm out

I believe, though that some of the subway parts of the Hudson Terminals
lived on until 9/11... I remember a tiled sign by the 1 & 9 (still visibile
96-97) that said "To Hudson Terminal H&M Tubes".  Cannot verify if 1)it was
covered over beforehand or 2) was taken out along with everything else in
2002 or 3) might still be there.  I forget where it was though.  Supposedly
parts of the Hudson Terminal below ground remained and were used as storage
during the WTC days and the tubes and platforms became loading docks.

I think you will find that all the old H&M era infrastructure east of
the tunnels went when the WTC was built.
