Beach 60 St-Straiton Av (A)

Home<N.Y.C. Subway Stations<Beach 60 Street-Straiton Av

Beach 60 St-Straiton is a standard Rockaway Line elevated station. It has two side platforms on the two-track line. The stations exits are to all four sides of Beach 25 Street, accessed via the standard Rockaway Line Station house mezzanine that leads out to pairs of staircases up to each platform, at almost their western ends. This is also where the canopied and windscreen portions of the platform are, from the western end to a bit before the centers. The eastern ends of the platforms are bare with just a low-fence, although towards the other (eastern) end of the Rockaway-bound platform there is a small area that has canopy coverage again and a closed High Exit Turnstile (or iron maiden, so the second required token for travel to the Rockaways could be paid before 1975 when it was required) that is completely surrounded by a chain-link fence, closed off and abandoned.
