65th Street is a local station on the IND Queens Boulevard Line of the New York City Subway, located at the intersection of 65th Street and Broadway in Queens. It is served by the train at all times except nights, when the train takes over service. The train provides additional service here on weekdays during middays and rush hours. == Station layout == This underground station, opened on August 19, 1933, has two side platforms and four tracks. The two center express tracks are used by the E train during daytime hours and the train at all times. Signs to the Forest Hills-bound platform are on the wall instead of hanging over the staircase. The reason for this was because the original 1933 IND tile sign read "Jamaica and Rockaway", anticipating construction of a never-built system expansion. These signs remained uncovered as late as 2001.〔(Subway Signs to Nowhere (Forgotten New York) )〕 The 1933 Manhattan-bound tile signs remain intact. The station's tile bands are Puce with a black border. Some violet replacement tiles have been placed. The full-time mezzanine is at the eastern end has three staircases to each platform and two staircases to the street. Both sides had fare controls and former booths at platform levels at the far western end, at the opposite end of the current mezzanine. They have since been sealed. West of this station, the express tracks become depressed and break from the local tracks. The express tracks run underneath Northern Boulevard, while the local tracks continue under Broadway and then turn to Steinway Street before meeting up with the express trains underneath Northern and Steinway. The line was built in this fashion because Broadway and Steinway Street are too narrow to align four tracks side by side underneath them. 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「65th Street (IND Queens Boulevard Line)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
