75th Avenue (originally 75th Avenue – Puritan Avenue) is a local station on the IND Queens Boulevard Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 75th Avenue and Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills, Queens, it is served by the F train at all times, and the E train at all other times except weekday rush hours and middays.

History

The Queens Boulevard Line was one of the first lines built by the city-owned Independent Subway System (IND),[4][5][6] and stretches between the IND Eighth Avenue Line in Manhattan and 179th Street and Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, Queens.[4][6][7] The Queens Boulevard Line was in part financed by a Public Works Administration (PWA) loan and grant of $25,000,000.[8] One of the proposed stations would have been located at 75th Avenue. In 1930, in anticipation of growth due to the building of the Queens Boulevard Line, several blocks of land along Queens Boulevard were rezoned so that fifteen-story apartment buildings could be built.[9]

On December 31, 1936, the IND Queens Boulevard Line was extended by eight stops, and 3.5 miles (5.6 km), from its previous terminus at Roosevelt Avenue to Union Turnpike, and the 75th Avenue station opened as part of this extension.[10][11][12][13][14][15]

The construction of the extension to Kew Gardens brought significant growth to Queens, specifically in Forest Hills and Kew Gardens.[16][17] With the subway providing a quick and cheap commute, Forest Hills became a more desirable place to live, and as a result new apartment buildings were built in advance of the line's opening to accommodate the expected influx of residents.[18][19] As a result, Forest Hills was transformed from a quiet residential community of one-family houses to an active population center.[20][21][22] Following the line's completion, there was an increase in the property values of buildings around Queens Boulevard.[23][24]

In 1953, the platforms were lengthened at 75th Avenue to 660 feet to allow E and F trains to run eleven car trains. The E and F began running eleven car trains during rush hours on September 8, 1953. The extra train car increased the total carrying capacity by 4,000 passengers. The lengthening project cost $400,000.[25]

In the 1970s, when the New York City Subway was at an all-time low, following the general trend of a decrease in ridership, the amount of passengers using the 75th Avenue station decreased by 300,000 passengers.[26][27]

As part of the MTA's 1975 – 1981 transit program, station lighting at 75th Avenue was improved.[28]

Entrance to the 75th Avenue station on the north side of Queens Boulevard

This local station has four tracks and two side platforms. The E train uses the two center tracks to bypass this station weekdays (Manhattan-bound from approximately 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Jamaica-bound from 7:30 a.m. to 7:45 p.m.).[29]

The platforms' color scheme consists of a light sage green trim line on a black border with "75TH AVE" tiled in white lettering on a black border beneath them. The name tablets have "75TH AVE." in white arial font on a black background with a lighter green border as above. Beneath them are directional signs in white letting on a black border. The platform columns are painted in light Nile Green and the track columns have white "75TH AVE" signs on them in black lettering.[30]

The color scheme of the station's side platforms is green trim with green borders around the name tablets and the columns painted lime green color. This station also has 75th Ave signs on the beams between the express and local tracks.[30]

The station has a full-length mezzanine above the platforms and tracks. All of the mezzanine is still completely open, with the exception of a tiny closed fenced offf section at the station's eastern end that is accessed from a single closed staircase on the Manhattan-bound platform. However, it is set up in a way that does not allow a free transfer between directions, as the fare control is located in the middle of the mezzanine. This is evidence that there were two booths when the station first opened. The token booth and turnstile banks for either direction are at the center. HEET turnstiles are at either ends near the station's entrances and exits, both of which have two street stairs. The entrance at the west (railroad south) end leads to the northwest corner and southwest corners of Queens Boulevard and 75th Avenue, while the one on the east (railroad north) end leads to to southeast corner of Queens Boulevard and 75th Road.[31] Chain-link fences separate the sections of the mezzanine within fare control and the section out of fare control. There used to be a full mezzanine but the fare control is now in the center so there is no free crossover; this allows pedestrians to cross under Queens Boulevard freely.[32][30][33]

The name Puritan Avenue was used to refer to the station early in its history.[34][35] It is the name for 75th Road in Forest Hills Gardens, which dates back to the street's creation in 1909.[36]

Track layout

There are two switches near the western end of this station, one is a diamond crossover in the Queens-bound direction, and one is a regular switch in the Manhattan-bound direction. The diamond crossover switch allows trains to cross-over between the local and express tracks in the same direction. The other switch allows trains heading toward Manhattan on the local track to switch to the express track.[37] This switch is used in revenue service. E and F trains use it to switch from the Queens Boulevard express tracks to the local tracks, allowing them to stop at 75th Avenue. The F uses these switches at all times, while the E only uses them at all times except weekdays and late nights. The stretch of local track between 71st Avenue and 75th Avenue is only used in revenue service during late nights, when the E runs local.[38]

There are also four tracks underneath this station, which are not visible from the platforms. An emergency exit located in the middle of the Jamaica-bound platform leads to this lower level. The two outer tracks lead to Jamaica Yard while the two center tracks are used for reversing trains from Forest Hills – 71st Avenue and end at bumper blocks just east of 75th Avenue under the mainline tracks.[39][37][40]

Ridership

In 2015, the station had 1,136,305 boardings, making it the 351th most used station in the 423-station system.[3] This amounted to an average of 3,756 passengers per weekday.[41]
