Line E / Block Island Line (Togcity Subway) |
Block Island Terminal is the easternmost station on Line E of the Togcity and Block Nation Subway. It is the only station on Block Island, and it serves the island and the adjacent area. The exit is a staircase at the northern end of the platform, which leads to Block Island Avenue.
Platform and track configuration
Line E has two offset tracks with an island platform between them at the Block Island Terminal. Both tracks are for the same direction; the eastern track is for arrivals while the western track is for departures. The western track is offset to the north, while the eastern track is offset to the south. In total, the platform is 8 meters long with the 4 meters in the center being shared by the two tracks. Both tracks have a northward direction at this station, making it similar to a loop. This loop design was necessary because of the very limited space available on Block Island.
History
The Block Island Terminal opened at the same time as the rest of Line E, and it has not been modified since.
