location and tracks of thestation's location and tracks were originally part of the Lenox Avenue Yard opened in 1904, where 3 trains are currently assigned and stored. An extension of the Lenox Avenue line to 149th or 150th Street had been proposed since the Dual Contracts of the 1910s. In 1916, an extension to 149th Street was proposed as part of a connection between the Lenox Avenue Line and the IRT Jerome Avenue Line in the Bronx (served by the 4 train). - In 1940, the New York City Board of Transportation proposed extending
that theIRT Lenox Avenue Linebe extendedto the Bronx along the northern portion of the IRT Ninth Avenue Line, in turn connecting to the IRT Jerome Avenue Line at 167th Street. However, the tunnel from Sedgwick Avenue to Anderson–Jerome Avenues was built to elevated-railway standards, whose "open" third rails, which which did not have any protective covers on top, were shorter than the subway's "covered" third railsbecause the "open" rails did not have any protective covers on top. Another issue was that the Ninth Avenue Line could not carry subway cars, as it was only strong enough to carry the lighter elevated cars.This incompatibilityThese incompatibilities prevented the connection from being built.Another issue was that the Ninth Avenue Line could not carry subway cars, as it was only strong enough to carry the lighter elevated cars.
- In 1957, a station at 150th Street within the Lenox Yard was proposed to better serve the local area (including the nearby Harlem River Houses). The station, and the Bronx extension, had been requested by local citizens since the 1940s due to unreliable bus and surface trolley services. The station was later moved to 149th Street due to the
downsizing of theLenox Yard's downsizing in the 1960s, with the land sold to the developers that would build thehigh schoolFrederick Douglas Academy and the Esplanade Gardens apartment complex above the yard and station(see below).

- The new terminal,
when completedupon completion, was intended tobe areplacementfor the former terminal at 145th Street station due to the proximity of switches that prevented the station's lengthening to accommodate ten-car trains. However, plans to shut down 145th Street were cancelled due to protests from local residents. 148th Street Station opened on May 13, 1968. The construction of the station cost $1,290,000, track improvements cost $3,178,000, and signalling cost $3,553,000. The name of the station was originally planned to be 149th Street–Seventh Avenue, but because of possible confusion with 149th Street–Grand Concourse, it was changed to 148th Street–Lenox Terminal.

- This station is the northern terminal of the IRT Lenox Avenue Line. There are two tracks and one island platform
here. The tracks end at bumper blocks onatthe west end of the platform.NextLenox Yard is adjacent to the stationis Lenox Yard, which is used for train storage and has no maintenance facility. The yard predates the station, which was added in 1968at a relatively low cost(omit this or specify), since the yard and the track connection were already there.Formerly, the terminal was one station to the south, at 145th Street. Due to the high ceiling, platform service information signs are hung from heavy cables.

existsbetween 147th and 149th streets while Frederick Douglass Academy High School sits between 149th and 150th Streets; both structures rest on pilotis above the station and yard. Unlike other at-grade stations, however,148th Street is not ADA-accessible because there is a staircase down to platform level.

- @Truflip99: Just a side comment: as long as the archive links work, I don't think it should be a problem as per the good article criteria. The archive links are long by necessity, because the full version of the URL that was archived, and a shortened URL would not work (e.g. this long URL works, but this short URL doesn't work). epicgenius (talk) 01:21, 8 September 2018 (UTC) Edited. epicgenius (talk) 03:42, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: That's a shame. I'm not making part of the criteria, I'm just not a fan of links like that.

- A few issues with sources (could just be me, so if could point them out that'd be great):
- All caps sources could be changed per house style, looks better too
- Use Template:Google maps accordingly
- For the Exit section, couldn't verify anything except for the mezzanine location with the source provided
- Use of {{Template:Rp}} unnecessary, move it to the <ref>{{...</ref>
- A few issues with sources (could just be me, so if could point them out that'd be great):
- I'll add more later.
- @Truflip99: I've addressed all of these issues. By the way, the ping doesn't work unless you also sign your post. epicgenius (talk) 13:37, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
- I'll add more later.
- @Epicgenius: @Kew Gardens 613:
- Need source for the name Lenox Terminal–148th Street.
- "Formerly, the terminal was one station to the south, at 145th Street." could be incorporated into the first sentence of its paragraph, otherwise it reads detached and unnecessarily.
- Please review the references values for continuity issues (New York Amsterdam News, N. Y. AMSTERDAM NEWS, etc.)
- Address these issues and I'll pass it. I would still recommend requesting GOCE (Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests) to comb through the page. --Truflip99 (talk) 15:02, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Truflip99: Thanks for the additional comments. I've addressed these as well. I appreciate the comments you made during the review (even though I wasn't the nominator of this article), and I'll definitely consider making a GOCE request. epicgenius (talk) 00:08, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
