46h Street is a simple Queens Blvd Line Local Station. There are only two tracks in the station, the express tracks have left the local tracks to take their more direct route towards Queens Plaza. The station has no mezzanine, and in turn no free crossover or under, each platform has its one exit to Northern Blvd at the western most ends of the platform with the turnstiles directly alongside the platform. The token booth on the Forest Hills-bound platform was closed even at middays so the turnstiles were closed as well, the only way to enter the Forest Hills-bound platform was via High Entrance/Exit Turnstiles. There is some evidence of a former exit at the western end of the platform, with a portion of the wall that is lacking name tablets and only has the purple line of the trim. There are still signs for this exit at 56th St underneath some of the name tablets.
