An elevated platform over the plaza, trains rolling through on two levels, Manhattan across the river, the census on the platform walls.
Queensboro Plaza is a two level elevated station in Long Island City at the Queens end of the Queensboro Bridge. It was built under the Dual Contracts of the 1910s, when the city's two subway companies shared the tracks here. The bridge itself opened in 1909, designed by Gustav Lindenthal with Henry Hornbostel. The N, W and 7 trains meet on the platforms with Midtown across the river.

The double deck steel viaduct, curving tracks and platform canopies, the bridge and the skyline to the west, the glass towers of Long Island City, the traffic under the el. Mood: rush hour. Everything is procedural geometry with painted surfaces; nothing is a scan or a photograph. The room is an interpretation, and it hangs the New Yorkers the census recorded at this place first.
