There are, indeed, long escalators on the NYC subway system.  This long?  I don't know.  However, they are installed to serve individual stations to carry hundreds (maybe) of people.  Here, they will need to move thousands.  I picture the wide bank of escalators at the old WTC terminal of PATH which came up - what?  Three stories?  I can't picture them doing 18 stories.

But -- that's just me and my lack of imagination.

More power to them.  They'll need it.

The Web site to look at is Inside ARC [InsideARC_@_tunnelpartnership.com] There are very very long and tall escalators from subways in NY and they mention the use of the same on this  web site.
