High Street, also signed as High Street – Brooklyn Bridge, is a station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. It is located at Cadman Plaza East near Red Cross Place and the Brooklyn Bridge approach in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn. Its name comes from older street names; its original location was at the intersection of High Street and Washington Street. It is served by the train at all times and the train at all times except late nights. ==History== The High Street station, also referred to as "Brooklyn Bridge Plaza" and "Cranberry Street", was part of a three-stop extension of the IND Eighth Avenue Line from Chambers Street in Lower Manhattan to Jay Street – Borough Hall in Downtown Brooklyn.〔〔〔 Construction of the extension began in June 1928. Due to the station's proximity to the Cranberry Street Tunnel under the East River, instead of typical cut-and-cover (or open-cut) construction methods, the station site was constructed below the street (the tunnel is below the surface at its lowest point) using mining techniques. The station was built between the eastern ends of the cast-iron river tubes reinforced with cement, leading to its tubular design.〔 The extension opened to Jay Street on February 1, 1933, but the High Street station remained closed for an additional five months. The trains ran through the station without stopping, because the escalators to the street had not been completed due to lack of funding. The station opened on June 24, 1933. The station was located below the sites of the Sands Street terminal for BMT elevated trains, some of which traveled over the Brooklyn Bridge.〔(Downtown Brooklyn Elevated Lines (TheJoeKorNer) )〕 The BMT station closed in 1944〔New York Times, (Last Train is Run on Fulton St. 'El' ), June 1, 1940〕 and was replaced by Cadman Plaza. Old Fulton Street (now Cadman Plaza West) and Cranberry Street was also the site of the printing shop where Walt Whitman's ''Leaves of Grass'' was first published in 1855. The area is now the site of the Whitman Close Apartments.〔 The High Street station was the site of an attempted robbery of subway revenue on June 18, 1954, in which the unarmed perpetrator was fatally shot by one of the two armed transit employees collecting fares and used transfer slips from token booths. In the 1970s, the escalators at the eastern end of the station to Adams Street were replaced. 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「High Street (IND Eighth Avenue Line)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
