This elevated station has three tracks and two
side platforms. The center track dead ends at
bumper blocks on both sides of the station and has connections to both local tracks. It is only used for train storage. It was formerly used to turn trains for the
BMT Lexington Avenue Elevated trains from 1917 until 1950. The track was also used to store trains while the Jamaica Line was being torn down north of 121st Street and the
Archer Avenue Line was being built. Both platforms have beige windscreens for their entire lengths and brown canopies with green frames and support columns except for a small section at the west (
railroad south) end. Station signs are in the standard black with white lettering.
Exits The station's only entrance/exit is an elevated station house beneath the tracks. Inside
fare control, there is a single staircase to each platform at their south ends and a waiting area that allows a free transfer between directions. Outside fare control, there is a
turnstile bank, token booth, and two staircases going down to either eastern corners of
Jamaica Avenue and 111th Street. This station formerly had another entrance/exit at the east (railroad north) end. The staircase to 113th Street was removed, but the elevated station house beneath the tracks and single staircase to each platform remain boarded up and intact. The station house is now used for storage and offices. == References ==
