BMT Franklin Avenue Line



Terminal


June 19 , 1899

Franklin Av-Fulton Street is a New York City Subway Station . It is a single-track side platform station. It is the northern terminus on the Franklin Avenue Shuttle line.


REHABILITATION

This station was rehabilitated between 1998 and 1999.

Before the rehabilitation:
  • the station had two tracks but only the west "southbound" track was used due to missing rail on the east "northbound" track

  • the station had four track platforms but the bumper block only allowed two standard 75 ft. BMT cars into the station

  • in order to transfer to the lines, paper transfers good for 20 minutes were issued.


Now, there is an escalator and 4 elevators in the station, along with new artwork and transfers between the & lines all within fare control. The main fare control was also moved to street level on the southwest corner of Fulton Street & Franklin Avenue.
