- New York, New York, United States
62nd Street is an express station on the BMT West End Line that has three tracks and two island platforms. The middle express track is only used for re-routings and non-revenue movements. There are two fare control areas. The full time side is at 62nd Street and has the transfer to the N train.
The part time side is at 60th Street and this is where the famous chase scene in the 1971 film, The French Connection ends. This side was renovated and is HEET access for most of the day. A booth formerly existed here. New windows and lighting restored this mezzanine to good condition. However, the staircases from the street still have wooden boards. The station-house for the BMT Sea Beach Line used to have a newsstand and two additional doors on the left side. As of October 2010, this station has been undergoing renovations which includes a new canopy and repainted side roof and beams. As Of May 2012, renovations at 62nd Street have been completed. Renovations include the replacement of the two fare controls, new canopy and new platform edges.
