Nostrand Avenue is a two-level express station on the IND Fulton Street Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Nostrand Avenue and Fulton Street in Brooklyn, it is served by the A train at all times, and the C train at all times except late nights. It is the only station in the system to have the express tracks on the upper level and the local tracks on the lower one.
This station was originally planned to be a local station with a mezzanine. The upper platforms are double wide which would eastbound consistent with the design of a mezzanine. There is a closed passageway with a crossover to Bedford Avenue at the north end of the upper level along with a closed exit to Arlington Place. The lower level has a curtain wall separating the two tracks and inside are two additional trackways. From the northbound platform’s south end a hole in the wall allows a bright flashlight beam to show those trackways. There is no direct entrance to the LIRR station of the same name, which is two blocks south.
