Summary

Description
English: South Ferry Station in Lower Manhattan is the end point of the New York City Subway 1 train (The 9 train, as pictured above, was discontinued in 2005). The station's old platform is located in a loop and served as a turning point for the trains going back north. It is located near the South Ferry terminal. Due to the small size of the station's old platform, only the first five cars of the stopping trains could be boarded and alighted, and retractable platforms had to bridge the exceptionally large gap at the train doors caused by the sharp curvature of the track.
Deutsch: Ein Zug der Linie 9 (eingestellt am 31. Mai 2005) im Bahnhof South Ferry, outer loop. Da der Bahnhof in einer engen Linkskurve liegt, befinden sich auf dem Bahnsteig automatisch ausfahrende Rampen (sog. Gapfiller), um ein gefahrloses Ein- und Aussteigen insbesondere an den mittleren Türen zu ermöglichen. Immerhin gilt es mehr als einen halben Meter zwischen Wagentür und Bahnsteig zu überbrücken.
