Talk:Grant Avenue station (IND Fulton Street Line)

Center track?

> It now has three tracks, with the center track coming from the Pitkin Yard geographical south and not used in revenue service.

It can't be the center track, since the station has an island platform. Here two additional tracks are shown aside, but I don't see if one of them passes inside the station.

The line is two tracks within the station. At the tunnel portal, the center track ramps up from underneath the platform and the other track from Pitkin Yard merges into the southbound local. After the tunnel portal, the line is three tracks. Acps110 ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:37, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

• Ref 24 and 38 need access dates.

 Done Books don't need access dates.

• "The extension of the line to Euclid Avenue opened in November 1948." - How many years behind schedule was the opening?

 Done

• Since some of the other NYC subway station articles I've reviewed had pictures of their entrances maybe you could add this picture to the article?

 Done

• Why does the citation for ref 36 have a bullet point?

 Done

Just needs some minor touch ups!--Dom497 (talk) 02:49, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

• You need to be more thorough. Several links have to have page numbers added, the article doesn't have a long enough lead, and some claims are uncited, such as the station tiles. Thanks for doing the reviews, but please be more thorough.

@Epicgenius: The tile color doesn't seem right. It comes from the chart on this page, which doesn't agree with the image. https://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/IND_Station_Tile_Colors The tile color for this station does not look like the tile color for Bergen Street. Please could you help me discern what the actually color is? Thanks.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 13:57, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

@Kew Gardens 613: The walls are light green and the tile band seems to be dark green. This is from my personal observation from actually going to the station, not from looking at the image. Here is another image showing the real tile color. However, I don't know why the tile band was changed, or why they had to use that particular color (which in my opinion is really ugly). epicgenius (talk) 15:53, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

@Kew Gardens 613: There are no hard rules against how long the lead should be. Some info regarding the history of the station could be added (such as the stations that were demolished after this station opened) but I don't see it as a huge issue. Regarding the tiles, yep thats my fault for missing it and I apologize (thanks for catching it!). Same goes with the page references. @Epicgenius: Personal observation would obviously fall under "original research" so please add a picture or some sort other reliable reference to support the colours of the tiles.--Dom497 (talk) 01:09, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

@Dom497: This aforementioned image from NYCSubway.org supports the information. I will add it later. epicgenius (talk) 03:21, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

@Dom497: I added page numbers to both this article and Euclid Avenue (IND Fulton Street Line). epicgenius (talk) 15:54, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

"The column and wall tiles are textured Nile Green, with "GRANT" in dark green letters going down vertically on columns and horizontally along the wall underneath the tile band; the tile band is set in a soldier course of dark Bottle Green bordered by the same Nile Green as the rest of the wall, albeit minus the textured surface." - Where are you getting the colour names "Nile Green" and "Bottle Green" from? Seems like the only ref is the image.--Dom497 (talk) 00:48, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

@Dom497: I removed the specific color names. epicgenius (talk) 15:53, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
