9th Avenue (Lower Level) (BMT Culver Line)

Previous: Fort Hamilton Parkway

9th Avenue (Lower Level) Station · Opened 9/15/1916 · Closed 5/11/1975

The 9th Ave. station, lower level, served the original BMT Culver and West End Lines from 1919 to 1954. The IND connection to the Culver Line was made at Ditmas Avenue in 1954, rerouting Culver trains via the new IND subway. The section of track along 39th Street between Ninth Avenue and Ditmas Avenue operated as a shuttle, using the lower level platforms at Ninth Ave. These lower platforms have been disused since the shuttle operation was terminated on May 13, 1975. The lower level is rarely used for passengers. It was used in the movie Crocodile Dundee where it posed as the 59th Street subway station.
