Well. It's a train station. But it's an old one, and rather architecturally interesting…read more Unfortunately, on this particular visit, the Mommy was in a foul mood, which was entirely my fault, so we didn't have time to really appreciate this station. We had to run to the track, where we accidentally boarded the wrong train. This was also my fault. Upon our return to the city, there was a large phalanx of extremely fit police officers with their pants tucked into combat boots milling near the entrance. We decided that this was also not a good time to loiter and marvel at the architecture, so we departed expeditiously. The only cabs available outside the station are green ones, which my mother refused to take. They generally operate in the Bronx. But when I finally got a cab through the Curb app, it was...green. Lol. Very nice, clean station, and a very nice employee directed us to the correct track.

The photos speak for themselves--men's restroom at the 125th Street station is in completely…read moreunacceptable condition and requires immediate attention. The stalls are heavily rusted, damaged, stained, and have clearly been neglected for years. This facility looks ancient, poorly maintained, and is far below the standard passengers should expect at one of the busiest transit stations in Manhattan.The worst part is the severe lack of privacy. As you can see in my photo, the stall door is completely broken and doesn't even cover the opening. It leaves a massive gap that forces you to expose yourself to the entire room. Privacy and human dignity are basic expectations in any public restroom, but the current setup falls short.The MTA just raised the subway base fare to $3.00 under the promise of better service, yet paying riders are expected to use facilities like savages. I am not just posting this for myself, but to speak up for the thousands of daily commuters, seniors, and visitors who pass through this major transportation hub every day and are too intimidated or tired to complain.Cleanliness and maintenance are completely nonexistent here. The MTA needs to stop ignoring this station, bypass the lazy excuses, and immediately prioritize repairs, deep cleaning, and full modernization. We are paying more to ride; we deserve safe, clean, functional, and private restrooms. Fix this door immediately!

Someone complained to Yelp that my photos were posted to the wrong page. It's not unusual for a Station to have more than one entrance and exit. This is a cool station because it's above ground. I had no problems when I took the train down to 96th Street. I would definitely use this station again if the need arises. The elevated platform reminds me of the historic train lines I've seen in photos. I hope these two photos are posted correctly. They are two of my favorites. Enjoy

The good thing is you get a nice view. A lot of elevated stations aren't that interesting, but this has a good view in a cool area. It serves only the 1 Train. There's another station a few blocks away where you can make a transfer. Broadway is the other street here. It makes an important intersection in Harlem at 125th Street. There's a lot of history around this. Close to here is Grant's Tomb, if you're into Civil War and political stuff. If you're into African American culture, then this is the place for you. It's close to Columbia University, a very nerdy smart college that can still be cool. There's a lot of good bars and restaurants. It's also close to CCNY. That's the school that was known for their great basketball team until a scandal. Best of all is looking out from the station and seeing everything. There's a great view of the Hudson River. It can get pretty cold. It's way up there with no roof. This can make for great views.

Its artwork, all on the mezzanine level within the fare zone, includes: + Sculptor Houston Eugene Conwill's beautiful 1984 polychromic bronze triangular reliefs "The Open Secret" celebrating African-American culture. The detailed elements incorporated are worth examining. + New York born and raised artist Valerie Jean Maynard's 2003 wonderfully vibrant, colorful glass tile mosaic murals "Polyrhythmic Consciousness and Light," also reflecting the creativity generated from the neighborhood culture.

The station is pretty clean for how busy it can get. A lot of commuters or else it's students at CCNY. It serves the 1 Train. This can get crowded when there's school or whenever. It has entrances and exits at the center of the platform. There's not that much room to get in and out so you often have to wait. It basically is a good way for students to get to CCNY.

Get on here on the way up toward Washington Heights. It serves the B and C Trains. This shares the same track as the A Train, but that often runs express so it doesn't stop here unfortunately. Not to be confused with another station on 116th in Harlem. Over by Malcolm X Boulevard will you find that. Here it's a little busier. This station is pretty close to Columbia University and some other stuff. Basic station with a classic setup that's annoying. It matters which side of the street you enter on.

Fairly clean compared to many other stations around it. This also has a police station. Big station because of all the trains you can get on from here. It serves the A, B, C, and D Trains. There's many ways to make a transfer. Lower levels have the B and D. The B doesn't run on weekends. It still has plenty of other options to choose. The A often runs express but will always make a stop here. Upper levels have the A and C and this is where there's a police station. For how busy this is it's amazingly clean. This is usually safe with there being a police station. Getting to and from here is convenient and fast. It's one of the few stops for A when it runs express until 168th. The other important thing to remember is the B doesn't run on weekends.
