Gun Hill Road (IRT White Plains Road Line)

Previous: Burke Avenue · Next: 219th Street

Gun Hill Road Station · Opened 3/3/1917

Gun Hill Road is next, and has tons of transit history. There were at one time two levels, the lower serving the 3rd Ave. El, and the upper serving the White Plains Road IRT line. The lower level has been abandoned since the termination of El service in 1973; the upper level is still active, with three tracks and two island platforms, sodium lights and covered old signs. The main crossunder is located on the lower level. The lower level mezzanine is visible behind a gated area. Down one more level to the street is the main station house. A view over the edge from the southbound platform reveals hints of the lower level having had a wide island platform and two tracks. No tracks are present but trackways remain. As of this writing, the junction tracks from the lower to upper level (making a five track/trackway line for a short distance: from west to east, they were as follows: main southbound, 3rd Ave. southbound, main center, 3rd Ave. northbound, main northbound). Old signs on the lower level are still visible from the windows of downtown trains arriving into the upper level station.
