Franklin Avenue (Brooklyn IRT)

Previous: Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum · Next: Nostrand Avenue
Transfer here to: BMT Franklin

Franklin Avenue Station · Opened 8/23/1920

We arrive at Franklin Avenue, the last transfer between New Lots and Flatbush Ave. trains,and a station of interesting design. The line becomes two levels, with the platform on the south and the express track on the north side, similar to the Central Park West line of the IND. Brooklyn trains use the upper level and Manhattan trains use the lower level. There is a closed tower at the south end of the southbound platform. This is our last transfer for the Nostrand Avenue line. A free transfer to the BMT Franklin Shuttle's Botanic Garden Station was added in 1999.
