50th Street is a local station on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 50th Street and Broadway at the northwest corner of the Theater District, it is served by the 1 train at all times, and by the 2 train during late nights. ==Station layout== This station has four tracks with two side platforms. It was the first west-side station constructed as part of Contract I, the original New York City Subway construction contract, which opened in 1904. Original tile plaques at this station were removed during remodeling, but one of them has been preserved at the New York Transit Museum. Each platform has same-level fare control at the center and there are no crossovers or crossunders to allow free transfer between directions. Each fare control area has a token booth, turnstile bank, and newsstand. The northbound has four staircases to the streets, one of which is built inside a building. The southbound platform has an exit to an underground shopping arcade on the south side of 50th Street and another to the southern sunken courtyard of Paramount Plaza. The station is home to Liliana Porter's ''Alice, The Way Out'', a series of mosaics installed in 1994 depicting characters from Lewis Carroll's ''Alice in Wonderland.'' 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mta.info/mta/aft/permanentart/permart.html?agency=nyct&line=1&artist=1&station=11 )〕 On September 7, 1987, Alex Cumba fell onto the tracks of the 50th Street station. Bystanders Edwin Ortiz, Jeff Kuhn, and Melvin Shadd jumped onto the tracks and attempted to lift Cumba back onto the platform, which was difficult due to Cumba's weight. The three were able to remove Cumba seconds before the train arrived. A recreation of the story aired on Rescue 911 on September 17, 1991.〔(Rescue 911 Episode Guide - Rescue 911 Season Episodes - TV.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「50th Street (IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
