23rd Street (IND Sixth Avenue Line)
Encyclopedia : 2 : 23 : 23R : 23rd Street (IND Sixth Avenue Line)
23d Street is one of two local stations on the Sixth Avenue Line. Because the Hudson and Manhattan (now PATH) tunnels were constructed over 40 years prior to the IND, the platforms do not allow any crossover or crossunder, nor was any mezzanine ever constructed at this station. PATH trains use the two inner tracks inside the station walls, while the Sixth Avenue Express tracks are below them and were constructed using the "deep-bore" tunneling method in the mid 1960s. Each side has four street stairs and a direct indoor entrance to the 23rd Street (PATH station). Two of the four entrances on each side appear to be part of the original 1911 PATH entrances. Tile band is lime green. The tile band on the track walls appears to be obscured by support beams directly underneath 23rd Street.
