South Ferry is the southern terminal of the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line, carrying 1 service, which was supplemented by 9 service during rush hours until May 2005. The single platform is on the outside of the outer track of a two-track loop. The platform is extremely short (rear five cars cannot load or unload). Gap fillers are used to bridge the gap between the platform and the doors. Spray nozzles lubricate the track to reduce the friction caused by the tight curve. The sharp curvature slows train operation and generates excessive noise. This causes delays for the entire line. [1]

The single platform is on the outside of the outer track of a two-track loop. The platform is extremely short (rear five cars cannot load or unload). Gap fillers are used to bridge the gap between the platform and the doors. Spray nozzles lubricate the track to reduce the friction caused by the tight curve. The sharp curvature slows train operation and generates excessive noise. This causes delays for the entire line. [1] In mid-2005 construction commenced on a new South Ferry station which will be located underneath the present one. It will be built as a two-track terminal which will allow all ten cars of the train to platform so that all the doors can be opened. The new station will also have a free transfer to the Whitehall Street station (N (5) R (1234) W (123a)) on the BMT Broadway Line. It is anticipated that the new station will be completed in 2007. In November and Wikipedia:December 2005, centuries-old walls were discovered in two places in the proposed right-of-way. The walls will be placed on display in the park, and in the new terminal when construction is completed.[2] As a temporary measure, direct access is available to the adjacent South Ferry, including the Staten Island Ferry.
