Broadway Ferry was a station on the demolished section of the BMT Jamaica Line. It had 2 tracks and 1 island platform. It was opened on July 14, 1888, to serve the Broadway Ferry, and closed due in part to the mainline BMT Jamaica Line providing direct service to Manhattan via the Williamsburg Bridge after 1908.[1] The next stop to the north was Driggs Avenue.
