Station
Description & Photos |
|
|
(190a1.jpg) This is the sign for SUBWAY at the Fort Washington Avenue/Margaret Corbin Plaza Entrance |
 |
(190a2.jpg) The staircase, outside down to the elevator building, witch is at the top of a cliff. The trees in the background are part of Fort Tryon Park (Where the Coloisters Museum is located). |
 |
At the bottom of the stairs you turn left to get (190a3.jpg) to the entrance to the station building, inside the building is a large space to wait for one of the three elevators. After riding the elevators down, you exit from the opposite side of the elevator. fare control is over the tracks. The tunnel is around on the right. The station has one location for fare control. |
 |
(190a4.jpg) The station has a short tunnel, through the very steep hills of Fort Tryon Park, this is why |
 |
(190a5.jpg) The entrance to the tunnel. There are six doors, and a small 'new' sign saying "190 Street Station A" |
 |
Going through a door you end up here (190a6.jpg) The back of the doors |
 |
(190a7.jpg) a short ways 'up' the tunnel. Fair Control is actually at a higher elevation then the entrance. Entering the tunnel from the outside you go up three steps, the rest of the tunnel also gradually goes up. |
 |
(190a8.jpg) Just before fair control the tunnel splits, a ramp goes down to a high exit gate on the uptown platform. Or up to the elevators an turnstiles |
 |
(190a9.jpg) Down the ramp itself, the High exit gate can be seen on the uptown platform |
 |
(190a10.jpg) Back down the tunnel from the split. I then went through Fare control (3 turnstiles and a special entry gate). And onto a platform (See Floor Plan) |
