13th Avenue was a station on the demolished section of the BMT Culver Line. It originally had three tracks and 2 side platforms, although near the end of its life only used one track and 1 of the side platforms, due to the other 2 tracks being removed. It opened on November 11, 1919, but when the IND South Brooklyn Line was extended to Ditmas Avenue and converted most of the line to the Independent Subway System, the station's service was replaced by the Culver Shuttle. By the late-1960's the shuttle was reduced to a single track and platform, and finally closed on May 11, 1975. The next stop to the north was Fort Hamilton Parkway. The next stop to the south was Ditmas Avenue.
