65 Street

65 Street is a local subway station on the IND Queens Boulevard Line. This station is served by the M and R trains.

This station opened on August 19, 1933. There are four tracks and two side platforms. South of the station, the two express tracks diverge from the line to shortcut between 36 Street and 65 Street. The tile band is mauve with a black border and two tiles high. Name tablets say "65TH ST." in white lettering on a black background with a mauve border. Wall tiles also have "65 TH ST" in small white lettering in a black background. There is an small mezzanine at the eastern end of the station that unusually still displays mosaics saying "JAMAICA AND ROCKAWAY", which shows an propsed connection of the line to the LIRR Rockaway Branch on Woodhaven Boulevard. As of now, it has been improvised with the A train connecting to part of the line from Rockaway Avenue station. Also, there is a sign for the staircase down to the uptown platform that still display the G, R, and V trains.
