75th Avenue (originally 75th Avenue – Puritan Avenue) is a local station on the IND Queens Boulevard Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 75th Avenue and Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills, Queens, it is served by the train at all times, and the train at all other times except weekday rush hours and middays. == Station layout == The station opened on December 31, 1936, as part of an extension of the Queens Boulevard Line from Roosevelt Avenue to Union Turnpike, and has four tracks and two side platforms. The E train uses the two center tracks to bypass this station weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. The platforms' color scheme consists of a light sage green trim line on a black border with "75TH AVE" tiled in white lettering on a black border beneath them. The name tablets have "75TH AVE." in white arial font on a black background with a lighter green border as above. Beneath them are directional signs in white letting on a black border. The platform columns are painted in light Nile Green and the track columns have white "75TH AVE" signs on them in black lettering. The station has a full-length mezzanine above the platforms and tracks. However, it is set up in a way that does not allow a free transfer between directions, as the fare control is located in the middle of the mezzanine. The token booth and turnstile banks for either direction are at the center. HEET turnstiles are at either ends near the station's entrances and exits, both of which have two street stairs. The entrance at the west (railroad south) end leads to 75th Avenue while the one on the east (railroad north) end leads to 75th Road. Chain-link fences separate the sections of the mezzanine within fare control and the section out of fare control. There used to be a full mezzanine but the fare control is now in the center so there is no free crossover; this allows pedestrians to cross under Queens Boulevard freely. There are also four tracks underneath this station, which are not visible from the platforms. An emergency exit located in the middle of the Jamaica-bound platform leads to this lower level. The two outer tracks lead to Jamaica Yard while the two center tracks are used for reversing trains from Forest Hills – 71st Avenue and end at bumper blocks just east of 75th Avenue under the mainline tracks. The name Puritan Avenue was used to refer to the station early in its history. It is the name for 75th Road in Forest Hills Gardens, which dates back to the street's creation in 1909. 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「75th Avenue (IND Queens Boulevard Line)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
