Overview

Opened: 9/10/1932

Four tracks and three island platforms, the center platform is disused for train boarding. The station has exits at 59th, 60th, and 61st Sts. At this station the IRT and IND cross with the IND being below the IRT.

The station has a mezzanine at 61st St. which connects to the IRT #1 uptown, one at 60th St. which connects to the downtown #1, and one at 59th St. which features escalators to the street from the fare control. The north fare control is up a few stairs from the mezzanine. The exit at 60th Street emerges in a small "well" next to the 'World of Trump' globe on the north end of Columbus Circle. This was built by the former Gulf+Western tower and renovated by Trunp for his hotel-condo remake of that tower.

The center island was originally used for unloading of passengers and is no longer used due to difficulty in opening doors on both sides of the train, and to eliminate the resulting confusion of which platform is for what service. It is occasionally used for fan trips, for instance the Summer 2000 Nostalgia Train trips.

There is a complex route selector panel on the south end of both southbound tracks for: A,B,C/K,D,Other, plus two future use choices and cancel.
