Station: Dyckman Street (IRT West Side Line)
From nycsubway.org
| IRT West Side Line |
| IRT Woodlawn Line |
Overview
Opened: 3/16/1906
Local station, two tracks and two side platforms. This is a surface station, having just exited the Fort Washington Tunnel. In fact, at the south end of the station, the platforms abut the tunnel portal, and the north end of the station is on elevated viaduct. The terrain of Manhattan changes abruptly here and the subway builders went to elevated trackage to maintain a level grade. Dyckman Street is the only IRT elevated way station with only two tracks. At the south end of the station there are two "Dyckman Street" mosaics along the platforms. Old ornamental railings (without windscreens) and stairway guard rails are still present. The mezzanine is down quite a few stairs and has mosaic tile dove accents. After the fare control, it is only a few steps to the street.
