More about Myrtle Avenue (BMT Jamaica Line)

Myrtle Avenue is a New York City Subway express station on the BMT Jamaica Line. Located at the intersection of Myrtle Avenue and Broadway in Brooklyn, it is served by the J train at all times, the M train at all times except late nights, and the Z during rush hours in peak direction. The station has two platform levels, but all regular passenger service is on the lower platform level of the station. The station has an abandoned upper platform level which previously served the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line to Downtown Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge. Just east of the station, the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line diverges from the BMT Jamaica Line via slip switches in an at-grade junction.Station layoutLower levelThis elevated station, opened on September 16, 1888 on the lower level, has three tracks and two island platforms. The center track, normally used by J and Z trains for peak-direction express service on weekdays and late night M trains to Metropolitan Avenue, is unused due to construction on the Myrtle Avenue Line until April 2018. East of this station, all trains continue on the Jamaica Line to East New York and, in the J/Z case, to Queens. The connection to the Myrtle Avenue Line is one of the few remaining level junctions in the subway as well as one of the few places on revenue tracks with slip switches.
