1-Scape No.9 - A December Meet at Dyckman Street

A favorite facet of how the New York City Subway's construction was influenced by northern Manhattan's dramatic, craggy topography has to do with this very spot, at the 1 Train's Dyckman Street Station. Trains emerge from a very high rockface (the height only hinted at here) after running *deep* under the streets of Washington Heights - so deep in fact as to require elevators to descend from street level to the tracks at three stations - onto an elevated station, well above the street, and will continue on elevated structures as they head toward Van Cortlandt Park-242nd St, the line's northern terminus in the Bronx.

Here, an uptown 1 train of R62 railcars emerges from the tunnel at left, while a downtown train bound for
South Ferry enters on the way to its first of three very deep stations under the high ground of northern Manhattan.
