Guest d'Kong76 Guests Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Does anyone know... does the 7 tunnel go 'under' the east river oris the tunnel seated in the water?
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I don;t know that answer to that question but I caught the 7 just in time this morning. Need to formulate a new route home.

I think the only NYC subway tunnel that is "seated" in the water is the 63rd Street tunnel that carries the F train and, eventually the LIRR to Grand Central.
