train of
R46 cars arriving Since the station is on a
grade, there is a noticeable slant. The station has two
side platforms, and there are no overpasses, underpasses, or mezzanines to connect the platforms within
fare control. The station was overhauled in the late 1970s. The original trim lines were replaced with white cinderblock tiles, except for small recesses in the walls, which contain blue-painted cinderblock tiles. The staircases were repaired and new platform edges were installed. The blue cinderblock field contains the station-name signs and white text pointing to the exits. The renovation also replaced
incandescent lighting with
fluorescent lighting. The uptown platform maintains one old style sign while at the north end of the downtown/Brooklyn platform is an entire closed off portion of the platform. There are several (painted over) old style Rector Street mosaic signs on this platform. Directly to the south, the BMT Broadway Line curves southeast under the
Cunard Building and
Bowling Green Offices Building to reach the
Whitehall Street station. Just south of the fare control for the downtown platform, there are two exit-only turnstiles leading to an exit-only stair to the western side of Trinity Place. == Nearby points of interest ==
