Alberti Norte is a ghost station in the Buenos Aires Underground, which was part of Line A until its closure in 1953.〔Contreras, Leonel. (Historia cronológica de la ciudad de Buenos Aires 1536-2014 ), 2014. p.405, Dunken〕 It is one of two ghost stations on the line, the other being Pasco Sur. ==History== The station was originally opened in 1913, as one of the original Line A stations opened that year. The station was unusual for the network in the sense that it only had one platform, serving only trains heading towards Plaza de Mayo, with the opposite platform located some metres away at Alberti station. Given its proximity to Pasco's northern platform (located just 124 metres away), both Alberti Norte and Pasco Sur stations were closed in 1953 in order to improve the line's frequency, since the close proximity of stations in that part of the line meant that trains could never accelerate to full speed before having to stop again.〔(Los 95 años de la "línea A" ) - Info Almagro〕 Upon the closure of the station, passengers could still see the unaltered station for many years from the line's trains. In the mid-1980s, the platform even had a display showing the early years of the Underground, complete with mannequins dressed in 1920s clothing.〔(Las estaciones clausuradas de la línea A ) - EnElSubte, 24 April 2014.〕 When the Underground services were privatised by concession to Metrovías in the 1990s, the company closed up the platform and turned it into an electrical substation for the line. The entrance to the station from Rivadavia Avenue still exists, though it is sealed with a door only for maintenance personnel.〔(Los subterráneos de Buenos Aires ) - Diario del Viajero, 30 July 2014.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alberti Norte (Buenos Aires Underground)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
