Questions on station structure

1. The article says, "The station... is partially underground and partially in the open cut on an elevated embankment." What is "in the open cut on an elevated embankment"? Is the station below the street level or above it?

2. There are some stations that are "partially underground", and I want to reflect this feature in their infoboxes. For example, the Parkside Avenue (BMT Brighton Line) article says, "Two thirds of the platforms are in a tunnel underneath cross streets and buildings while the remaining northern one third is on an open cut." Are there more stations with such a nontrivial structure?

There is a comma missing in that sentence. I think what they are trying to say is "partially underground, partially in an open cut and partially on an elevated embankment."
Parkside Avenue should use open-cut with no qualifiers. Just because there is a bridge over the station doesn't mean it is underground. In that case the bridge is arched over each track and looks like a tunnel, but is still a bridge.

Remember the infobox is for "at-a-glance" type information. All data in an infobox must be in the body of the article, therefore it can be expanded into a readable sentence in the body of the article and concise in the infobox. Acps110 ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:28, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thank you. Do you mean that there are no more stations of a mixed structure? Vcohen (talk) 18:49, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't mean there are no more stations like that, I was responding to your example. There are others, such as Prospect Park, which could be similarly described. Acps110 ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:54, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you list all of them? Vcohen (talk) 20:13, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
