Given that this is in Columbus Circle, and essentially sits below the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.very-simple.com\/blog\/2012\/09\/23\/discovering-columbus\/\">very large statue of Christopher Columbus<\/a>, there is a bit of related iconography.  But it\u2019s really the same ship-tile over and over again, as far as I can tell.  Some other interesting features include some of the original carved signs for the mens\u2019 and womens\u2019 restrooms, but which don\u2019t appear to lead to restrooms anymore (the mens\u2019 room seems to indicate that it\u2019s actually some sort of electrical room now).  <\/p>\n<p>In addition, the northbound local track was shut this weekend due to construction\/repair work.  You can see some MTA workers over on the northbound track.  Lest it seem that they\u2019re not doing much, from what I could tell, the standing guy appeared to be giving instructions to the others &#8211; something that doesn\u2019t really translate well to a still photograph!<\/p>\n<p>Station opened: October 27, 1904<br \/>\nOriginal system: IRT<br \/>\nTrains: 1<br \/>\nSource: <a
