Eastgate – Lawrenceburg via Central Parkway
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Purple Line is an east-west line running from the eastern suburb of Eastgate to the western suburb of Lawrenceburg, Indiana via downtown Cincinnati. The Blue Line shares the same terminals at either end, but takes a more southerly route along the Ohio River for its entire length; the Purple Line generally runs further north. This line reactivates the abandoned 1920’s-era subway tunnels and stations below Central Parkway, and shares much of its route with the Green Line and Red Line.<\/p>\n

The Purple Line is approximately 44.1 miles long, and serves 23 stations.<\/p>\n

This station serves as the eastern terminal for the Blue Line and Purple Line, and consists of two island platforms and four tracks in the median of Route 32 between I-275 and Eastgate Boulevard. (Route 32 would be shifted to accommodate the width of the station.) the Fare control is located on a mezzanine level above the platforms, with access to a large Park & Ride facility and the nearby Eastgate Mall. A rail storage yard and maintenance facility would be located nearby.<\/p>\n

Upon leaving the station, Blue Line trains branch off to the south and travel along the I-275 corridor, while Purple Line trains continue west in the median of Route 32. West of the I-275 interchange, trains ascend onto an elevated viaduct and cross to the north side of the highway.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

This is the first of four existing subway stations built in the early 1920’s as part of Cincinnati’s efforts to built a comprehensive subway system. Originally designated as the Race Street station, this station consists of a large island platform with stairs, escalators, and elevator to a mezzanine level below. The original configuration of this station included a third center track for interurban trains; this trackway is filled in to become part of the platform.<\/p>\n

Crossing perpendicular to this station under Vine Street is the Orange and Gold Line subway. Transfer between the Purple Line, Orange Line, and Gold Line is via a mezzanine level below the shallow Central Parkway subway and the deeper Vine Street subway. This mezzanine level also contains the fare control, and provides access to the street level. The original Race Street entrance to the station will serve as a secondary entrance\/exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tracks are on two levels, with northbound Red Line and westbound Purple Line trains on the upper level, and southbound Red Line and eastbound Purple Line trains on the lower level. Fare control is on the upper track level. The dual-level track configuration allows the Purple Line and Red Line routes to split north of the station while preventing diverging trains from crossing each others’ paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This station consists of an island platform in the median of Interstate 275, which runs on an elevated embankment at this point. Fare control located in a station house at ground level, connected to the platform via a concourse passing below the eastbound lanes of the expressway. A Park & Ride facility is also provided, with an entrance on Suspension Bridge Road. This road runs parallel to the expressway and provides access to neighboring communities in this semi-rural area. Access to the station from I-275 is via the nearby Kilby Road interchange.<\/p>\n

Leaving the station, Purple Line trains cross the Whitewater River and continues southwest in the median of Interstate 275 for approximately four miles, before departing the expressway right-of-way at US 50. The Purple Line joins the existing freight railroad right-of-way that parallels US 50, which also carries the Blue Line. Purple Line and Blue Line trains continue at grade along the railroad right-of-way for approximately two miles to the next station.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

This is an above-ground station on an embankment, with an island platform. Fare control is at ground level, facing Eads Parkway. A Park & Ride facility is provided at this station.<\/p>\n

At this point the rapid transit alignment departs the freight railroad right-of-way, and continues south along the east side of Eads Parkway (US 50) on an elevated embankment. This embankment forms part of the levee between Eads Parkway and the Great Miami River.<\/p>\n

As trains approach the Old Town area of Lawrenceburg, they depart the levee structure and continue alongside Eads Parkway on an elevated viaduct, before transitioning into a shallow short cut-and-cover subway tunnel running under Eads Parkway for the final half-mile of the route. A rail storage yard and maintenance facility is nearby.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
