This station is the highest elevated station in the system, at 80 feet... The station is over the street bridge, which in turn is over the Gowanus Canal. A view of the Gowanus Expressway built by Robert Moses of the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority is to the west of the southbound platform. The station affords a post card view of the lower Manhattan skyline and the train descending toward the Carroll Street tunnel portals.
