Newkirk Avenue is a station on the IRT Nostrand Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Newkirk and Nostrand Avenues in Brooklyn, it is served by the 2 train at all times and the 5 train on weekdays. == Station layout == This underground station, opened on August 23, 1920, has two tracks and two side platforms. Each platform has its own fare control with no crossovers or crossunders to allow free transfers between directions, though there is evidence of a closed crossunder at the south end of the station. The platforms have their original 1920s tiling from the Dual Contracts era. The "NEWKIRK AVE" name tablets are on a blue background with a green border. The station's trim line is nearly fully green with accents of several other colors. "N"s for "Newkirk" run along the trim line at regular intervals. The platform columns run at regular intervals and are painted green to match the station's tiling. They are wider in the middle of each platform where the station exits are. They get narrower as they run towards either ends of the platform, especially at the extreme ends where the 1960s extension refrigerator-block style tiling is used. The columns have "Newkirk" written in white on a blue plate. The platforms get narrower towards their ends and become wider towards the middle as fare control is on platform level. The Manhattan-bound platform has the station's only bank of regular turnstiles and token booth. Its street stair leads to the southeast corner of Newkirk and Nostrand Avenues. The fare control for the Flatbush Avenue-bound platform is normally unstaffed, containing one High Entry Exit Turnstile and one exit-only turnstile. A Customer Service Agent Booth and bank of regular turnstiles is sometimes open during rush hours. This exit's street stair leads to the southwest corner of Newkirk and Nostrand Avenues. The Flatbush Avenue-bound platform has an additional exit-only on the extreme north end. This exit has two high turnstiles and its single street stair leads to the west side of Nostrand Avenue just south of Avenue D. This exit was added in the 1950s. 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「Newkirk Avenue (IRT Nostrand Avenue Line)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
