At Livonia Avenue, the IRT Eastern Parkway Line crosses above the Canarsie Line. Just south of this station is a spur leading to a small yard, which is known as the Linden Shops. Another spur branches off of the IRT line as well. These spurs have no third rails, and are used by New York City Transit locomotives going to and from the facility. A walkway leads from Livonia Avenue station to the IRT Junius Street station, but requires the payment of an extra fare. A free transfer is planned.^{[citation needed]}
