}} 145th Street is a landmarked station on the IRT Lenox Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 145th Street and Lenox Avenue in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, it is served by the 3 train at all times. ==Station layout== There are two tracks with two short side platforms that accommodate about 6 cars (only the first 5 cars open, because all five cars of each R62 train used on the 3 service must have their doors open at the same time).〔 Street staircases from platform level go up to all four corners of 145th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard, however there is no entrance from the street to the northbound platform, as both eastern street staircases contain a high exit-only turnstile and emergency gate. Like the other stations on the original IRT subway, it was built for trains shorter in length than modern standards. Eventually, all of the other stations were either lengthened or closed, leaving 145th Street as the only original IRT station that still cannot accommodate ten-car trains. Directly north of the station is a diamond crossover for the approach to the northern terminal of the 3 train at Harlem – 148th Street. Directly south of the station is the 142nd Street Junction with the IRT White Plains Road Line. The proximity of the switches in either direction is the reason why the station was not lengthened, though it would be inexpensive to move the switch immediately to the north of the station. The station station was intended to be closed in 1968 with the opening of Harlem–148th Street in the pre-existing Lenox Yard. The plans were shelved due to protests from the local community over the long walk (up to seven blocks) to either the new station or 135th Street one stop south, and due to possible congestion issues at 135th Street. From 1995 to 2008, this station lacked full-time service, as 3 trains did not operate during late nights. Full-time service was restored on July 27, 2008. The station has been on the National Register of Historic Places since March 30, 2005.〔(National Register of Historic Places )〕 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「145th Street (IRT Lenox Avenue Line)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
