155th Street is a local station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located under the intersection of 155th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue, at the border of Harlem and Washington Heights neighborhoods of Manhattan, it is served by the C train at all times except nights, when the A train takes over service.
This station, opened on September 10, 1932, has two local tracks and two side platforms. The express tracks run underneath on a lower level and are not visible from the platforms.
The station once had a full-length mezzanine, but the south end at 153rd Street is now closed and used as a MTA New York City Transit facility. The north end at 155th Street has vent chambers and a high ceiling.
