Station Layout
There are additional exits at the extreme ends of each platform which bypass the intermediate level and go straight to the fare control level, the eastern one to Utica Avenue and the western one to Stuyvesant Avenue.
Between this station and Ralph Avenue, there is a fifth track between the express tracks, which could be used for storage or turning trains, although it is not normally used. The storage/layup tracks ends with bumper blocks on both ends, with switches to the express tracks.
Artwork here was made in 1996 by Jimmy James Green and is called Children's Cathedral.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
