    It seems that NYC subway signaling is hot topic.  If memory serves
    correct, there was only 1 subway station in NYC that the passangers had
    to actually cross the tracks to reach the station.  Where is the station ?
    And was there special signalling there ?

I don't know, but the oldest subway station in the US, Park Street Station
on Boston's green line, still has surface level tracks on the upper level
that you have to cross if you want to get a doughnut (unless you want to
go downstairs and cross via the red line platform).  I keep expecting a
bad accident and subsequent lawsuit here, but it hasn't happened yet.
