context_page_description: 125th 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, at the border of the Manhattanville and Morningside Heights neighborhoods of Manhattan, it is served by the 1 train at all times, and is the only elevated station in Manhattan.
context_section_description: This station was part of the original subway. It has two side platforms and three tracks; the center track is not used in revenue service. Both platforms have beige windscreens and red canopies with windows and green frames and outlines in the center that were installed in a 2003 renovation. On either side, there are green, waist-high, ironwork fences.
  The 125th Street station is the only station on the 2,174-foot-long (663 m) Manhattan Valley Viaduct, which bridges Manhattanville from 122nd to 135th Streets and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983. The viaduct allows the trains to remain relatively level and avoid steep grades while traversing the valley. The steel arch across 125th Street is 168.5 feet (51.4 m) long and 54 feet (16 m) high. Most of the remainder of the viaduct is a simple steel structure, similar to other early IRT lines, except the approach ramps from 122nd to LaSalle Streets and from 133rd to 135th Streets, which are made of masonry.
