Worth Street (IRT Lexington Avenue Line)

Worth Street was a local station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. It is located at Lafayette Street and Worth Street, and has four tracks and two side platforms.
==History==
Worth Street was one of the 28 original stations of the first subway line in Manhattan, opening on October 27, 1904.〔(Subway opening to-day with simple ceremony ) ''New York Times'' Retrieved August 30, 2008〕 At this time, Worth Street served local trains from the now-abandoned City Hall station to 145th Street at Broadway.
The station was lengthened twice. Like all the local stops, it was originally about 200 feet long to accommodate five-car trains. The first door of the first car and last door of the last car were left past the platform ends and were not opened. Because of overcrowding, the Public Service Commission ordered the local platforms extended a few yards into the "manholes" at the ends, that is, the space left for access to equipment closets. Completed in 1910, this gave just enough room for six-car local trains with only a door of the first and last cars at the platform. The second platform lengthening was done in 1948 by the Board of Transportation on the downtown side only that provided for the full length of a ten-car train (510 feet). The work was done on the downtown side to save costs. This side was chosen as it was the main unloading side in the business district.

The station was closed on September 1, 1962 due to the platform lengthening at Brooklyn Bridge – City Hall. After the Worth Street station's closure, Brooklyn Bridge – City Hall was named Brooklyn Bridge – Worth Street on platform signs until 1995.
