Hinsdale Street was a station on the demolished BMT Fulton Street Line, located on Pitkin Avenue and Hinsdale Street in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It had 3 tracks and 2 side platforms.[1] It was built sometime between 1912 and 1924,[2][3] (possibly 1915), as a replacement for Eastern Parkway station[4] a block to the west, as part of the Dual Contracts, and had a connecting spur to the BMT Lexington Avenue Line via Manhattan Beach Crossing. It was served by BMT 13 trains until 1940, when they were replaced with BMT 12 trains. It also had a connection to the Bergen Street Line trolleys. It closed on April 26, 1956, along with the rest of the remaining segment of the Fulton Elevated Line west of Hudson Street. The station was not replaced with an underground IND Fulton Street Line station due to its distance from the IND line, however; the nearest existing station is Sutter Avenue on the BMT Canarsie Line.
