Location

Main & Oak also known as West Main Street was a former Rochester Industrial and Rapid Transit Railway station located in Rochester, New York. Streetcars on Main Street could be accessed via a surface connection. The station closed in 1956 along with the rest of the line.

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. The new west portal to the tunnel is just west of this station along Broad Street.
