Block Park East is an express station on Lines C/CX and Lines D/DX of the Togcity and Block Nation Subway. It is located at the eastern end of Block Park, and has two levels. Lines C and CX stop on the upper level, while Lines D and DX stop on the lower level. There are two overpasses, one at the northern end of the upper level, and one at the eastern end of the lower level. The two overpasses connect and lead to a staircase up to the intersection of Main Street and Block Park Road.
Platform and track configuration
On the upper level, Lines C and CX have four tracks and two island platforms, in a standard express station layout. On the lower level, Lines D and DX have four tracks and two island platforms. The two levels are not directly on top of each other, instead the lower level is some meters west of the upper level.
History
Block Park East station was first built when Lines C and CX were extended north from Center Street East and Grand Central respectively. It was a terminal for a while until Line C was extended to Northern Summit and Line CX was extended to North Main Street. Later, Lines D/DX's level was built, with two tracks and two side platforms, and a connection to Lines C and CX. When Line DX was extended to Block Park East, two tracks were added on the Line D level and the two side platforms became island platforms. In early 2017, Line D was extended to Snowcrest Drive, which became a local stop, while Line DX was extended to the next express station at Hillside Avenue.
