I am trying to build subway maps using overpass-turbo and output in JSON. I only want the routes (ways) and the stations (nodes) for each network. This is what I have so far:

[out:json];
(
  relation["network"="NYC Subway"];
);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

With this query, I not only get the station nodes, but also nodes for exits, platforms, etc. for each station. I only want the 'main' station node as shown in this picture: main_station_node

These nodes have attributes public_transport=station and railway=station while the exits and platforms do not. I am having trouble filtering only these main station nodes in overpass. I have tried this:

[out:json];
(
  relation["network"="NYC Subway"];
  node(r)["railway"="station"];
);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

However, this is still giving me nodes for exits, platforms, etc.

The following should do it https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1C00

/*
Get NYC Subway station nodes & Railway subway ways
*/

[out:json];

(
  // get subway nodes
  node["network"="NYC Subway"]["railway"="station"]({{bbox}});
  // get subway ways/'lines'
  way[railway=subway]({{bbox}});
);

out body;
>;
out skel qt;
