125th Street (formerly Manhattan Street), is a local station on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 125th Street and Broadway, where Morningside Heights meets Harlem, it is served by the 1 train at all times.
It is the only station on the short elevated Manhattan Valley Viaduct, which bridges the Manhattan Valley from 122nd to 135th Streets. This area is also referred to as Manhattanville, and the viaduct has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983.[4] The viaduct allows the trains to remain relatively level and avoid steep grades while traversing the valley. The overall length of the viaduct is 2,174 feet (663 m) and the steel arch across 125th Street is 168.5 feet (51.4 m) long.[5]
Stairs and escalators lead to a mezzanine under the tracks that allows access to both uptown and downtown trains from either side of Broadway. The express track that passes through the station is currently unused in revenue service.
