More of the West Side Line....

An ariving northbound train meets a departing southbound at 125th Street on the IRT's West Side line...now part of the "1" train's service up to 242nd Street....

What makes 125th Street in Manhattan interesting is that both to the north and to the south the line is a subway...the only reason why this station is elevated is because Broadway Ave. dips into a deep valley...instead of dealing with a steep grade underground the IRT decided to jump skyward....
