Shepherd Avenue is a local station on the IND Fulton Street Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Shepherd and Pitkin Avenues in Brooklyn, it is served by the C train at all times except late nights, when the A train provides service.
It resembles Van Siclen Avenue, having a crossover and a single double wide stairway to the mezzanine. There are no ads in this station.
This station, along with the Van Siclen Avenue and Liberty Avenue stations, was an unfinished shell during World War II, due to material shortages. Thus, the station got a sightly different tile job and design for the mezzanine compared to earlier local stations along the line.
