the bx1, bx2, bx9, bx12, bx41, and the BL-60 (at times)... artic routes...

the answer is Fordham rd.
-----------


Here's an easy one:

I am served by only one subway line... an "island" type platform is built on me... 2 bee-line routes (one of which terminates @ me) and one MTA NYCT route connects w/ me...

Who am I?

I am an elevated IRT station with a total of five tracks. There are four diamond switches within the vicinity. Railfans love this station because it is so unique. I am flanked by an express station with three platforms (one abandoned) and another standard local station. What station am I?

Wrong. The station is in the Bronx. I should have said, 3 of them are artic routes and I share the same name as a housing project and a bus depot

Nope, Pelham Pkwy is a local IRT station. The station has the express/local layout, but there's no revenue express service. Look at the last clue

I started out as a terminal but I am not anymore.
I was abandoned but now I am reclaimed.
I have appeared in many movies but not as myself.
