[PHOTO] Station Identification Needed

Posted by Bill Newkirk on Mon Nov 3 16:29:12 2025

The No Smoking sign is pure IRT. So what station could this be, 168th St, Grand Central or Clark St.?

My first reaction was Clark St./St. George Hotel. But I don't really know for sure.

I don't remember Grand Central having any elevators and I believe Clark Street is elevator-only, so I suspect this would be 168th Street.

I've never seen signs at the #1 level at 168 St pointing to exit stairs. That station level seems to be elevators only to exit. As one of the deepest in the system, any stairs would be for emergency use only, and would not be pointed to by such a prominent sign.

Is 149 St - Grand Concourse (Mott Av) ruled out?

BTW, I love the hand pointer on the sign. In the mid-'60s I rode through Utica Av (4) for the first time, and on the platforms were signs showing Utica Av one way and Schenectady Av the other, each pointed to by a hand.

IIRC there were elevators at the west end of the Flushing Line platforms.
