Located 160 feet below ridge of the Hudson Palisades in the former West Shore Railroad Terminal tunnel, it is reached by elevators traveling from street-level entrances located just north of busbays. The station was designed by FXFOWLE Architects. The four porcelain enamel on steel murals which adorn the complex are entitled Between Manhattan and Meadowlands, and were created by Maria Mijares.
