148 Street/Lenox Terminal is the northern terminus of the 3
train. The station is located at street the level at the bottom of a
hillside, meaning the station seems like it is in a trench. The station
platform is at the south of the 3 train's Lenox Yard,
which is clearly visible through the fence. The station and yard inside
looks like a parking garage with high ceilings and hanging lights
because in recent years buildings have been built above the station on
platforms. Just after leaving its terminal the 3
cures onto Lenox (the Harlem River can be scene briefly) and dips
underground. The exit of the station is on the end of the revenue
tracks and yard tracks, walking up a short stairway we enter a head
house at the street level of Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd (7 Avenue),
more doors lead outside onto the sidewalk. The station being at street
level is possible because of the slopes in this area. The station is
also much newer then the rest of the Lenox Line (including 145 Street)
opening on 13 May, 1968 the rest of the Lenox Avenue line to 96 Street
opened on 23 November, 1904.
