Nassau Street Express·Jamaica Av Local<111 Street
111 Street has two side platforms that are windscreened and canopied for almost their entire lengths on what is briefly a three track elevated line. It is the only station on the Jamaica elevated to actually have three tracks. The middle track, here is in theory used to lay-up trains within the station. In theory the station could be bypassed on this middle track.
The station has a single exit at the extreme western end of the platforms. Single staircases lead down to a the standard small station house beneath the tracks, where the turnstiles. Staircases lead down to the SW and NW corners of Jamaica Avenue and West 111 Street.
There's an abadoned exit at the other end of the station to 113 Street, all street stairs have been removed but the station house there is still there nestled beneath the tracks. It has air conditioners popping out of the sides and has been converted to crew quarters including locker rooms.
