Park Avenue was a station on the BMT Jamaica Line located at the intersection of Park Avenue and Broadway in Brooklyn.

History

This station opened on June 25, 1888. It closed on June 5, 1916 due to its proximity to stations at Flushing Avenue and Myrtle Avenue, and to allow for the Dual Contracts rebuilding of the Jamaica Line. As part of the rebuilding, the line was given a third track, the remaining stations were given side platforms, a connection to the Myrtle Avenue Elevated was installed and the elevated was strengthened to allow subway cars to use the line.[1]

Station layout

This elevated station had two tracks and an island platform.[2]

gollark: ... hmm, this campaign will have to be conveyed entirely in reactions in <#471332775434125313> somehow.

gollark: DS just arbitrarily erases its memory? How unethical. I'm going to launch a bot rights campaign against him.

gollark: The root problem is that all software in existence is awful and we can barely keep up with the obvious holes.
