Hoyt Street (Brooklyn IRT)

Previous: Borough Hall (East Side Branch) · Next: Nevins Street

Hoyt Street Station · Opened 5/1/1908

South of Borough Hall, the first and second IRT lines join to form a four track line, with a local (2/3 trains) and express (4/5 trains) layout. The Flatbush Avenue trunk line is quite complex with the BMT Brighton Line trains using the two innermost of the six tracks in this area. The express tracks are at a lower level for a stretch.

The first stop past Borough Hall is Hoyt Street, which has been renovated extensively. Old signs on the center I-beams between the local and express tracks read "Hoyt Street/Bridge Street". There is a closed entrace to the Macy's department store behind a grille at the north end of the southbound platform, which also used to serve as a crossunder between platforms. At the south end of the northbound platform is a closed-off passageway used by the police. One of the original ceramic cartouches has been preserved at the New York Transit Museum.
