33rd Street–Rawson Street is a local station on the IRT Flushing Line of the New York City Subway. It is located over Queens Boulevard on a concrete viaduct. It is served by the 7 train at all times.

History

The Flushing Line was opened from Queensboro Plaza to 103rd Street – Corona Plaza on April 21, 1917, with a local station at 33rd Street.^[4]

The platforms at 33rd Street were extended in 1955–1956 to accommodate 11-car trains.^[5]

The station has two side platforms and three tracks. The center track is used by peak-direction <7> express trains during rush hours. The full-time exit is at 33rd Street and the part-time exit is at 34th Street. The part-time exit has a crossunder to allow free transfers between opposite directions while the full-time one does not, even though it has the layouts that could allow one.

In 1998, the name "Rawson" was removed from the station signs and subway maps. It was restored in 2004 as part of a historical move when the local community decided to commemorate the deceased local Rawson Hart Boddam.
