4th Avenue Station · Opened 7/1/1933Local station with four tracks and two side platforms.
This station is elevated along a viaduct. The station is more or less
level but it enters at its south end the tunnel into the hillside of
Park Slope. The downtown express track in the station has a concrete
bed, not the ballast and tie bed of the other tracks on this
viaduct. This better resists drips and spills from the GG train when
it sleeps here between runs.
West (or north) of this station is a stub-end reversing
spur entered only from this station. It is level, between the two
express tracks, while the rest of the line ramps up toward Smith-9th
Street. Trains are rarely, if ever, stored here.
The station has a crew quarters/offices structure over
both platforms which is constructed of brick with evidence of
covered/removed windows.
The mezzanine has light green accent tile with the main
tile being ivory colored. On the Coney Island-bound mezzanine we
overlook the street level which features stores outside the fare
control. There is a painted-over mosaic reading "To Coney Island" in
the mezzanine, and a mosaic "To Manhattan" is still visible. Inasmuch
as the line never went to Coney Island when it was first built, the
"To Coney Island" mosaic is puzzling. Was it added after the line tied
into the BMT Culver line? Was it an anticipatory sign for a future
prolongation to Coney Island (like some "To the Rockaways" mosaics
along Queens Boulevard)? Not sure.
Due to the layout at the BMT 9th Street station,
different stairs must be used to transfer to Manhattan and Coney
Island BMT trains.
