Norwood Avenue is a rehabilitated skip-stop subway station on the New York City Subway's BMT Jamaica Line. It is served by the Z rush hours and J other times. The mezzanine is at the north end on platform level. It has wooden floors and walls and is smaller that those in other Jamaica Line stations. The canopy is short and has arched supports.

Between here and Crescent Street, a careful examination reveals a turn off for the former Chestnut Street Incline which leads to the Long Island Rail Road. It was abandoned a long time ago because federal regulation prohibited allowances of a commuter railroad (LIRR) to share tracks with a subway or elevated line company.
