This is a subway station with two island platforms, located below Dalton Street where it passes under Ezzard Charles Drive. One platform serves Silver Line trains; other platform serves Red Line and Green Line trains. The station has direct indoor access to Union Terminal via escalators and an underground concourse. Connections to taxi, bus, and streetcar service at Union Terminal are also available.

	The now-demolished concourse is shown at the upper right, and is now the site of an intermodal rail yard. A new concourse for commuter, regional, and high-speed rail service is proposed for the location. The taxi, bus, and streetcar ramps are seen on either side of the central rotunda.1

These ramps are now occupied by the Cincinnati History Museum and the Museum of Natural History & Science. It is proposed that these institutions be relocated to new stand-alone buildings on either side of the approach drive to Union Terminal, where large parking lots now stand.

Silver Line trains leave the station via an underground tunnel running southbound below Dalton Street, and emerge onto an elevated viaduct and turn east as they approach the Queensgate station and the Brent Spence Bridge.

The Queensgate neighborhood of Cincinnati is immediately to the west of downtown, and consists primarily of light industrial and warehouse uses. Queensgate is currently separated from downtown by the sprawling I71/75 expressway interchange and approach ramps to the Brent Spence Bridge. With plans underway to replace the bridge and highway interchange, however, this neighborhood could potentially be reconnected to downtown and see large-scale future development.

This station consists of two elevated island platforms serving Silver Line and Blue Line, and one subway island platform serving Red Line and Green Line. The above-ground and below-ground portions of the station share a common station house at street level.

Upon departing this station, Silver Line trains turn south and cross the Ohio River via the new Brent Spence Bridge.

This station consists of two island platforms in the Interstate 71/75 expressway median at the Buttermilk Pike interchange. One platform serves all outbound trains; other platform serves all inbound trains. Silver Line and Gold Line trains operate on outer express tracks; Orange Line trains operate on inner local tracks. This is the final station before the Silver Line and Gold Line split from the Orange Line and head west toward the airport. Orange Line trains continue southwest to Florence. This station would be a major hub for local bus routes, and include a large parking garage for Park-and-Ride commuter service.

Upon leaving this station, Silver Line and Gold Line trains branch to the west along Interstate 275, running in the median of I-275 for approximately three miles before going into a subway tunnel between Mineola Pike and Point Pleasant Road. The tunnel enters the airport property in the vicinity of Point Pleasant Road and Commonwealth Avenue, runs under the northern end of the east runway, and heads west toward Terminal Drive.

This is a subway station with two island platforms, located below Terminal Drive in front of Terminal 3, the airport’s newest and largest terminal. One platform serves Silver Line trains; other platform serves Gold Line. Direct indoor connection to lower level of Terminal 3 and parking garage. Direct indoor access is provided to the lower level of Terminal 3 and to the Terminal 3 parking garage via an underground concourse. Above-ground walkways currently provide access between Terminal 3 and the other two terminal facilities at the airport.

The station is designed so that a future westward extension of the transit line can be achieved with minimal disruption.
