Lexington Avenue-53rd Street (IND Queens Boulevard Line)

Previous: 23rd St./Ely Avenue · Next: 5th Avenue/53rd Street
Transfer here to: IRT East Side Line

Lexington Avenue-53rd Street Station · Opened 8/19/1933

Two tracks, one island platform. The western end has long escalators to the fare control, which were reported to be the longest in the world when first opened. (Many longer ones outside of New York are in operation since then.) The station has an island platform with two tracks and has no tile on the walls and as such no mosaics or colored tile bands. The station is very deep (approximately 80 feet below street level) and has very low ceilings. In October 2003, the TA opened an expanded mezzanine and a new escalator offering a second transfer point to the IRT East Side/Lexington Avenue Subway. An elevator is now being installed at this station.
