Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd (A except Late Nights,S-Late Night Shuttle to Euclid Blvd)

Home<N.Y.C. Subway Stations<Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd/Liberty St El

Lefferts Blvd is the terminus of the BMT Liberty Street elevated line. Like all terminal stations on the subway it has a layout that is a little different. The station is a two-track stub-terminal with a single island platform. There is a tower at the western end of the platform facing the tracks, and the usual signs along the platform saying witch track for the Next Train. It feels like the platform's canopy (that stretches for the entire platform except for the westernmost car) was replaced during a different time period because the columns holing it up look different than any other station on the line. There are two exits one is an unstaffed exit with one with High Entrance Turnstile and a High Exit Turnstile right out in the open directly below the station platform before walkways lead to staircases down to either side of Liberty Avenue and 116 Street. The staffed entrance is at the typical end of the line position, at the eastern end of the platform where a three doors on the platform itself open two a staircase that leads down to a mezzanine area and exits to the NW and SW corners of Lefferts Blvd and Liberty Avenue.

(leffertsa1) My reflection off a Lefferts Blvd platform sign and some antique incandescent lights that still work on the western end of the platform at Lefferts Blvd. 29 December, 2008	(leffertsa2) The most unusual station bench I've scene at any subway station. It is metal and wooden and looks like it belongs in a park, not at a subway station. 29 December, 2008	(leffertsa3) The staircase that can be easily closed down to the exit to 116 Street and Liberty Avenue towards the western end of the platform at Lefferts Blvd. 29 December, 2008	(leffertsa4) Looking down the narrow island platform at Lefferts Blvd, with the usual janitorial supplies a terminus station has . 29 December, 2008

(leffertsa13) Another relic of the past at Lefferts Blvd above doors into the station says 'IT'S YOUR SUBWAY-Please help us keep it clean'. 29 December, 2008	(leffertsa14) Looking down the sidewalk of Liberty Avenue, before descending the staircase to street level from the Lefferts Blvd exit mezzanine. 29 December, 2008	(leffertsa15) The end of Liberty Avenue El is marked by what else but an ad, in this high visibility location (that does have a clock). An entrance to the subway station is also in this photo. 29 December, 2008	(leffertsa16) Approaching the 116 Street entrance at Lefferts Blvd from street level. 29 December, 2008
