(and formerly at 34/8, 5/53 lower, and Tremont) is a gorgeous, rich color, much classier than the flat red-orange seen elsewhere.Utica is a beautiful station, because of both the original color and the spectacular artwork and decorations. If only the platforms weren't so deep, requiring the exiting passengers to climb unnecessarily high. The second-system shell should have been built under the first-system station, not above. Why put the speculative station above the certain station? One of the few IND mis-steps.... |
