The Fulton Street Elevated was built by the Kings County Elevated Railway Company and this station started service on April 24, 1888.[3][4][5] The station had 2 tracks and 2 offset side platforms.[6] It was served by trains of the BMT Fulton Street Line, and until 1920, trains of the BMT Brighton Line. The station was located east of the BMT Fifth Avenue Line, but had no connection to that elevated line. It was also located north of the Flatbush Avenue (LIRR station), now known as the Atlantic Terminal, and had no connections there either.[7] This station was served by steam locomotives between 1888 and 1899.
