111th Street is a local station on the IRT Flushing Line of the New York City Subway. It is served by the 7 train at all times. It has five tracks and two side platforms. The two center tracks at platform level are not used in passenger service.
History
The station was opened on October 13, 1925, with shuttle service between 111th Street and the previous terminal at Alburtis Avenue (now 103rd Street – Corona Plaza).[4] The line was extended to Willets Point Boulevard (now Mets – Willets Point) on May 7, 1927,[5] and to the current terminal Flushing – Main Street on January 21, 1928.[6]

The station has five tracks. The express track is located on a flyover above the other four tracks. The two center tracks are yard leads of the Corona Yard, where 7 trains are maintained and stored. As a result, trains that go to/from the yard often terminate or begin at this station.[7][8][9] Stations with flyover express tracks such as this were far more common on IRT elevated lines in Manhattan during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
This station has full windscreens except at the south end of the northbound platform, which has a waist-high steel fence instead. Exit is at the south (geographic west) end, with staircases to all four corners of 111th Street and Roosevelt Avenue.[10][8] The mezzanine and stairway landings are wooden while the flooring at the fare control area is concrete.[11] The station has a crossunder between platforms. New signs have covered the old ones. Above some of the black station signs reading "111 Street" are white signs reading "Hall of Science", identifying the nearby New York Hall of Science five blocks south.[8][10][12][13]
