207 Street (1) - The SubwayNut

207 Street is a typical station on the Northern Broadway elevated line that was reconstructed in 1990. The stop has two side platforms for the three track line with canopied areas in the single exit at then middle of the station, the ends of both platforms are exposed to the elements and all four ends except the southern end of the uptown platform have the low old IRT elevated fences. The soutnern end of the uptown platform has the windscreen treatment preventing looking into the 207 Street yard. The exits from the uptown platform consist of High Exit Turnstile leading down to the NE corner and a High Entrance/Exit Turnstile to the SE corner (the only way to board an uptown train) of 10 Avenue and 207 Street. These are on either side of a now closed station house.

The downtown platform has the station house which is small and has no real place to wait beyond fare control inside for the train beyond the turnstiles. Street stairs lead out to SE corner, but a walkway is required to lea down to the SW corner because 207 Street is so wide and intersects with 10 Avenue at an angle.

In 2010 the station got a bit of a facelift, which included replacing the platform canopies which revealled a stange view of only the canopies beams in December 2010. New windscreens with more corriguation were installed, along with a new set of two unstaffed low turnstiles replacing the former High Exit Only turnstile to the NE corner, creating entrances from both of the Uptown platform's streetstairs.

From 1989 through 2005, the station was a '9' train only stop during the skip-stop era with 1 trains bypassing the station during rush hours.

Looking up one of the downtown platform's street stairs this is one of the few parts of the station that still has a canopy

One street stair due to 207 Street odd angle to Broadway resulting in a longer intersection has this long passageway before the station house
