33rd Street–Rawson Street station

The 33rd Street–Rawson Street station (announced as the 33rd Street station on trains) is a local station on the IRT Flushing Line of the New York City Subway. It is located over Queens Boulevard on a concrete viaduct. It is served by the 7 train at all times.
== History ==
The Flushing Line was opened from Queensboro Plaza to Alburtis Avenue (now 103rd Street–Corona Plaza) on April 21, 1917, with a local station at 33rd Street.
The platforms at 33rd Street were extended in 1955–1956 to accommodate 11-car trains.
In December 2019, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced that this station would become ADA-accessible as part of the agency's 2020–2024 Capital Program.
==Station layout==
The station has two side platforms and three tracks. The center track is used by peak-direction <7> express trains during rush hours.
In 1998, the name "Rawson" was removed from the station signs and subway maps. It was restored in 2004 as part of a historical move when the local community decided to commemorate the deceased local Rawson Hart Boddam.
===Exits===
Both exits are under the tracks in the median of Queens Boulevard. The full-time exit is at 33rd Street, with two stairs from each platform, and the part-time exit is at 34th Street, also with two stairs from each platform. The part-time exit has a crossunder to allow free transfers between opposite directions while the full-time one does not, even though it has the layouts that could allow one.
