61st Street–Woodside (announced as Woodside–61st Street on the R188 cars) is an express station on the IRT Flushing Line of the New York City Subway located at 61st Street and Roosevelt Avenue in Woodside, Queens. It is served by the 7 train, with additional peak-direction <7> service during rush hours.
History
61st Street–Woodside opened on April 21, 1917 as Woodside, as part of an extension of the IRT Flushing Line to 103rd Street–Corona Plaza. The Long Island Rail Road station predates the station, as it originally opened in 1869.
The platforms at 61st Street were extended in 1955–1956 to accommodate 11-car trains.[4]
In 1981, the MTA listed the station among the 69 most deteriorated stations in the subway system.[5]

This station has two island platforms and three tracks. The two outer tracks are used for the full-time 7 local service while the bidirectional center track is used for rush hour peak-direction <7> express service. There is a mezzanine located at the center, underneath the platforms, with a new ADA-accessible elevator to each platform.
Artwork includes John Cavanagh's Commuting/Community (1986), located near the stairway down to LIRR Track 4, and Dimitri Gerakaris' Woodside Continuum (1999), which forms part of the steel-grating fare-control separation.
Exits
Entrance and exit are provided by long stairs down to street level on the northern curb of Roosevelt Avenue at 61st Street, as well as to other nearby locations via the LIRR platforms. An ADA-compliant elevator provides access to street level at the northeast corner of 61st Street and Roosevelt Avenue, while a long escalator at the southeast corner provides entrance only. The Woodside station of the Long Island Rail Road is located directly beneath the Flushing Line station; any of the three LIRR platforms can be accessed directly from the mezzanine.
In popular culture
This station was used for a scene in John Cassavetes's 1980 film Gloria.
This station was used for a scene in the Coen brothers' 2013 film Inside Llewyn Davis.
