65th Street is a local station on the IND Queens Boulevard Line of the New York City Subway, located at the intersection of 65th Street and Broadway in Queens. It is served by the R train at all times except late nights, when the E train replaces it. The M train provides additional service here on weekdays.
This underground station, opened on August 19, 1936, has two side platforms and four tracks. The two center express tracks are used by the E train during daytime hours and the F train at all times.
Signs to the Forest Hills-bound platform are on the wall instead of hanging over the staircase. The reason for this was because the original 1933 IND tile sign read "Jamaica and Rockaway", anticipating construction of a never-built system expansion. These signs remained uncovered at late as 2001.[2] The 1933 Manhattan-bound tile signs remain intact.
The station's tile bands are purple. The full-time mezzanine is at the eastern end has three staircases to each platform and two staircases to the street. Both sides had fare controls and former booths at platform levels at the far western end, at the opposite end of the current mezzanine. They have since been sealed.
West of this station, the express tracks become depressed and break from the local tracks. The express tracks run underneath Northern Boulevard, while the local continue under Broadway and then turn to Steinway Street before meeting up with the express trains underneath Northern and Steinway. The line was built this way because Broadway and Steinway Street are too narrow to align four tracks side by side underneath them.
