Nostrand Avenue (IND Fulton)

Nostrand Avenue Station · Opened 4/9/1936Two levels, two tracks and two side platforms on each
level. This station is an unusual two-level station with express
service on the upper level and local service on the lower level.
The original design of the station was as follows: Four
tracks and two local side platforms on the lower level; typical IND
mezzanine on the upper level. At some point during the construction
it was decided to add express platforms here, so the way this was
accommodated was by ramping up the express trackways east and west of
the station to the level of the "mezzanine" and adding side platforms.
The trackside walls on the lower level conceal the original
trackways. The express platforms are wider than the local platforms to
allow for the lower level stairways. Because of this obliteration of
the mezzanine, there are separate fare controls at the east
(Rockaway-bound) end of the upper platforms at platform level. There is,
however, a sealed-off crossover here that was closed citing safety concerns.
Tile band is of butterscotch yellow with a walnut brown
border, a very warm and eye-pleasing combination of colors. The name
tablet colors are reversed. Ad panels on the lower level have been
tiled over with the same walnut brown highlights (presumably because
the ad panels were constantly being defaced).
There appears to have once been an exit at the west end;
lower level directional signs point to "Arlington Place", but the ones
on the upper level have been blacked out. Where the exit once was,
replacement tile has been installed; the tile band takes on a much
lighter shade of yellow, here, with a distinctly darker shade of brown
at the border.
