169 Street

169 Street is a local subway station on the IND Queens Boulevard Line. This was the last station on the IND Queens Boulevard Line to be built in 1937. This station is served by the F train.

This station opened on April 24, 1937 as the terminus of the IND Queens Boulevard Line. There are four tracks and two side platforms. The tile band is carmine red with a black border and two tiles high. Name tablets say "169TH ST." in white lettering on a black background with a carmine red border. Wall tiles also have "169" in small white lettering in a black background. There is a full-length mezzanine at this station although two staircases are walled off on the Manhattan bound area. There is also a "DO NOT JUMP" sign at one of the staircases, due to the low clearance there.
