181 Street (1) - Photo Page 2

A 181 Street entrance pylon next to a bus stop for the M3 on St. Nicholas Avenue between 181 and 182 Streets

The main 181 Street entrance to the currently opened elevators is through a shopping arcade

A name tablet visible through the mesh after bricks fell down off the arched ceiling

Looking across to the opposite platform, no high vault, just the beams of temporary scaffolding protecting passengers from any falling bricks, a lone bench and name tablet are still available at the southern end of the platform, the staircase visible leads up to a signal box, never a customer area

Looking down the narrow platforms covered in scaffolding, the now emergency exits to station's original elevators are visible

The very different feeling extension portion of 181 Street, the platform is fully open, no emergency construction needed here (I don't quite know the story of the additional 181 signs over tiled signs)

Sign for Yeshiva University

The scaffolding resembles pillars in the No clearance areas

AN exit staircase just after the arch onto the platform extension on the uptown platform, the bricked off arches once led to a lower elevator landing, that improved traffic flow.

Heading up to the station exit past the construction scaffolding

The very narrow Lower Mezzanine landing

One corridor leads from the elevators to the exit turnstiles

The streetstair to the SE corner of 181 Street and St. Nicholas Avenue, the 1 train font on the streetstair sign is not correct

The passageway from the original elevator landing beneath the SE corner of 181 Street and St. Nicholas Avenue to the current only entrance

The station's MVM's in the shopping arcade across from clothing racks outside a store

The clothing stores racks and the token booth facing the turnstiles beyond

A sign for Uptown trains in the exact middle of the platform beneath the bridge to the station elevators

Orange construction matting with temporary signs above plywood under the scaffolding that is protecting passengers from falling bricks

R62 #2398 and #2397 stop at 181 Street

The closed turnstiles because the subway is free after Superstorm Sandy
