TheDyckman (pronouncedDIKE-man)Street station (signed asDyckman–200th Street) is astation on theIND Eighth Avenue Line of theNew York City Subway, located at the intersection ofDyckman Street andBroadway inInwood, within northernManhattan. It is served by theA train at all times.

New York City mayorJohn Francis Hylan's original plans for theIndependent Subway System (IND), proposed in 1922, included building over 100 miles (160 km) of new lines and taking over nearly 100 miles (160 km) of existing lines. The lines were designed to compete with the existing underground, surface, and elevated lines operated by theInterborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) and BMT.^[4][5] On December 9, 1924, theNew York City Board of Transportation (BOT) gave preliminary approval for the construction of theIND Eighth Avenue Line.^[6] This line consisted of a corridor connectingInwood, Manhattan, toDowntown Brooklyn, running largely underEighth Avenue but also parallelingGreenwich Avenue andSixth Avenue in Lower Manhattan.^[6][7] The BOT announced a list of stations on the new line in February 1928, with a station at Thayer Street (one block southwest of Dyckman Street).^[8]

The finishes at the five stations between175th and207th Street, including the Dyckman Street station, were 18 percent completed by May 1930.^[9] By that August, the BOT reported that the Eighth Avenue Line was nearly completed and that the stations from116th to 207th Street were 99.9 percent completed.^[10] The entire line was completed by September 1931, except for the installation of turnstiles.^[11] A preview event for the new subway was hosted on September 8, 1932, two days before the official opening.^[12][13] The Dyckman Street station opened on September 10, 1932, as part of the city-operated IND's initial segment, the Eighth Avenue Line betweenChambers Street and207th Street.^[14][15] Construction of the whole line cost $191.2 million. Service at this station was provided with express service from its onset.^[14]

Dyckman Street was formerly namedDyckman Street–200th Street despite Manhattan never having a street numbered 200th.^[16]

The station was planned to be rehabilitated as part of the 2015–2019 MTA Capital Program.^[17]

There are four tracks and twoside platforms serving only the outermost two tracks, much like a typical local station in the subway system. The station is served at all times by theA train, which uses the outermost tracks; the two innermost tracks are mostly used for train storage during off-peak hours. The next stop to the north isInwood–207th Street, the last stop on the line, while the next stop to the south is190th Street. North of the station, the two outer tracks lead to the 207th Street terminal station while the two center tracks lead to the207th Street Yard; additionally, there arediamond crossovers between all four tracks before the two center tracks dive down to a lower level and turn sharply east towards the yard. South of the station is a diamond crossover between the two center tracks before they merge with the two outer tracks. During rush hours, some A trains originate and terminate here and use the switches north of the station heading to and from the yard.^[18][19]

Both platform walls have no trim line, but there are mosaic name tablets reading "DYCKMAN–200TH ST." in whitesans-serif lettering on a maroon background and black border. Small "200" tile captions in white numbering on a black background run along the walls between the name tablets. Yellow I-beam columns run along both platforms at regular intervals, alternating ones having the standard black station name plate in white lettering, reading "Dyckman Street".^[20] A few column signs still read "200".^[21] There is an underpass connecting the platforms.^[22][23]

Each platform has one same-levelfare control area and there is a crossunder inside fare control. The southbound platform has the full-timeturnstile bank and token booth. There are three street stairs here, two of which are built inside buildings and go up to the northwest corner of Broadway and Dyckman Street. The other stair goes up to the southwest corner of Broadway andRiverside Drive on the northern end ofFort Tryon Park.^[24]

SinceInwood–207th Street is the next and last stop on the line, this station's fare control on the northbound platform is exit only, containing justfull height turnstiles and four staircases, two of which go up to the northeast corner of Broadway and Dyckman Street and the other two to the southeast corner.^[24][25][26]
