160th Street was a station on the demolished section of the BMT Jamaica Line. It had three tracks and two side platforms. This station was built as part of the Dual Contracts. It opened December 12, 1916, and closed on September 10, 1977. The next stop to the north was 168th Street. The next stop to the south was Sutphin Boulevard. It was closed in anticipation of the Archer Avenue Subway, and due to political pressure in the area.
This station along with the 168th Street and Sutphin Boulevard stations was demolished in 1979. Nine years after that, the transportation needs in the vicinity of 160th Street were compensated with the Jamaica Center – Parsons/Archer Subway Station a block west.
