Location

Main & Oak also known as West Main Street was a former Rochester Industrial and Rapid Transit Railway station located in Rochester, New York.[3] The station was near the Oak Street Loop, and a surface connection to streetcars on Main Street.[1] The station closed in 1956 along with the rest of the line.[4]

The Broad Street Tunnel Project rehabilitated some sections and the subway tunnel where this station had been located, between Main Street and Brown Street, was filled in.[5] The new west portal to the tunnel is just west of this station along Broad Street.
