9 Av

I saw a guy but as naked in the subway 💯 recommended him to me and he was like I don’t know what to do with myself but I was like I don’t know how to do it I don’t know why I just don’t know what I should do with myself

The station isn't always the cleanest and there is no wheelchair accessibility whatsoever. There are regular delays/schedule changes during the weekends as well.

one of the many very urban scenic above ground stations that South East Brooklyn has just so many of. Renovations of the station make it even better. Great place to take pictures or get a glimpse at a city sunrise.

There is a lot of history in regards to the closed off lower level. At one time it emerged as the Culver line to Coney Island . It ran parallel to 37 st then down mcdonald ave on the existing el where the F train runs. El trains from the old 5th ave el ran there until 1940. Also BMT trains from Chambers st ran to Coney Island . After the IND took over the mcdonald ave el in 1954 it eventually evolved into a single track one train shuttle between 9th ave lower & Ditmas ave. the last train ran in 1975 and the el was torn down. Today houses stand where the el ran next to 37 st.

9 Avenue is located in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn, the station is served by the D train at all times and the occasional rerouted N train. Located in the only open cut on the D train which is also where garbage trains layup, 9th Ave used to be the terminus of the Culver shuttle, which stopped service in the 1950s, hence why there is an unused, abandoned platform on the lower level. The station is quite gritty, and does not smell plasent sometimes.

One of the more cinematically fascinating subway stops in Brooklyn, with a phantom (still used by work trains) lower level, decidedly outdoor vibe, and proximity to a busy yard where garbage trains are always busy.

it sucks to be at the mercy of just one train, and it gets so packed from the surrounding blocks even though the closest D is a few blocks away. It isn't handicapped accessible either, with no ramps nor elevator to get to the tracks. All I had to struggle with was groceries, I can't imagine being at the mercy of this station if you're handicapped. It's kept somewhat in order but the doors are always open which makes it freezing in the winter. The station masters are always kind though but I've found this to be the case with most MTA station masters.
