50th Street is a station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 50th Street and Broadway at the northwest corner of the Theater District, it is served by the NYCS|1 train (all times), and by the NYCS|2 train (late nights).
This is a renovated local station with no mezzanine or crossover. It was the first west-side station constructed as part of Contract I, the original New York City Subway construction contract, which opened in 1904. Original tile plaques at this station were removed during remodeling, but one of them has been preserved at the New York Transit Museum.
The image shown at the top of the page is part of Liliana Porter's "Alice, The Way Out", a series of mosaics installed during the renovations.
On September 5, 1987, 23 year-old Alex Cumba was on the northbound platform of this station when he suffered a seizure and fell onto the tracks. Three men, Melvin Shadd, Edwin Ortiz, and Jeff Kuhn, jumped in and successfully lifted Cumba off the tracks and off the platform, but were unable to get back on themselves before a 1 train came, forcing them to hide in between the track and platform. Eventually, all three men were rescued and Cumba suffered only a minor cut on his head [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0DE3DC1438F935A3575AC0A961948260] .
