Sutphin Blvd (F) - The SubwayNut

Home<N.Y.C. Subway Stations<Sutphin Blvd/Hillside Avenue

Parsons Blvd is a typical local stop on the Queens Blvd Line. There are two side platfroms and a full length mezzanine, that is completely intact. The mezzanine is completely with in fare control with no passageway between the entrances outside of fare control like many stations. One end of the mezzanie is to Sutphin Blvd that has the full time token booth, the other end is to 144th Street that has only HEETs. There is a provision to close off the half the mezzanine in the center, presumably the portion to 144th Street when it still had a token booth and turnstile and was part time before HEETs became commonplace, with a black fence directly down the center with a small threshold in the middle to connect the two halfs of the mezzanine, with the 144th Street exit now full time the gate/door has been removed but not the rest of the fence. Columns along the platform with half columns along the mezzanie have been painted blue. This doesn't match the yellow trim along the platforms with a black border or the white lettering on black with an yellow border that is the tiling of the name tablets.
