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:
“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
