149th street/ Grand Concourse Complex

149th Street Grand Concourse (on East 149th Street at Grand Concourse  ) 07/10/1905 and has two levels. The upper level serves the 4 train with three tracks and two island platforms with a crossunder. The lower level which has a high ceiling has two tracks, two wall platforms and a crossover. This level serves the 2 train and the 5 train. The south end of the lower northbound platform features closed double deck elevators which lead to the P/T mezzanine area behind the Manhattan-bound 4 staircases (area by elevator is closed off). There is an interesting vent or electrical chamber outside on the S/W corner of 149th Street and Grand Concourse, the tablet at the top reads "MOTT AVENUE" as well. Most of the tablets on the lower level were covered with the standard NYCT signs"149th Street Grand Concourse", however in one of them on the downtown platform the original " Mott Avenue" remains exposed. Platform extensions are at the far north end on both levels
