Description
Per Wikipedia: 125th Street (formerly Manhattan Street), is a local station on the IRT Broadway- Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 125th Street and Broadway, where Morningside Heights meets Harlem in an area known as Manhattanville, it is served by the 1 train at all times.
This is the only station on the short elevated Manhattan Valley Viaduct, which bridges Manhattanville from 122nd to 135th Streets and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983. This viaduct allows the trains to remain relatively level and avoid steep grades while traversing the valley.
This station was part of the original subway. It has two side platforms and three tracks. The center track is not used in revenue service. Both platforms have beige windscreens and red canopies with windows and green frames and outlines in the center that were installed in a 2003 renovation. On either side, there are red, waist-high, ironwork fences.
