This station has three tracks and two side platforms. The center express track is not normally used. The station opened in 1917 as part of the West End elevated structure, which was built by the BMT as part of the Dual Contracts expansion in the 1910s. Platform extensions dating back to the 1960s are visible to the north on the northbound platform and to the south on the southbound platform, providing views of the Coney Island Complex. Track leads from the West End Line to the Coney Island Complex are located both north and south of this station. An abandoned railroad tower is located above the center of the northbound platform; it has been replaced by a modern tower, about 20 feet to the south. South of this station, the center track merges with the other two tracks.
In 2012, the station was rehabilitated with funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.[4]
In popular culture
Bay 50th Street was the starting point of the classic chase sequence in the 1971 movie The French Connection.
