The New Lots Line is one of the lines of the IRT division of the New York City Subway, consisting of an elevated structure that begins just east of Crown Heights–Utica Avenue, and continuing to New Lots Avenue in New Lots, Brooklyn.[1][2][3]

The line includes an unused trackway in the middle for a third track. On the roof of the mezzanines at each station are cross ties but no rails. In some areas the space is used for mechanical and signal rooms. A track only exists in the middle at Junius Street, where it crosses the southbound track at grade towards the Linden Shops. There are plans to renovate the elevated part, including new mezzanines and stairs.
