The busiest station in the system[citation needed], in addition to being directly connected to BNY Mellon Center and the Steel Tower, it provides access to eastern and central portions of downtown.

The station is located in what was originally the Pittsburgh & Steubenville Extension Railroad Tunnel, which was opened in 1865.

These trolleys were used for the 47 Shannon and 47D Drake routes, and were cut off from the downtown light rail tunnels in 1993 when the original Overbrook line was closed for rehabilitation.
