The section between Georgia State east to Avondale was the first section of the line to begin operating, with Decatur the only subway station in the stretch. King Memorial . Two side platforms, two tracks, elevated. This is the highest station in the system, being 51 feet above the ground. The roof of the station is steel with skylights in them.
Columns supporting the roof are round, made of cement, and are covers with stainless steel.
The walls along the platform are cement, painted yellow and about 7 or 8 feet high, so you can't see through them, except through narrow gaps between each section. The walls curve inward toward the top. There are emergency staicases that run fron the platform to the street. Freight lines run along the eastbound side of the tracks from here until East Lake station. When you are traveling westbound past this station, you get a nice view of Downtown and Midtown with Buckhead in the distance.
