The station has four tracks and two side platforms. The two center express tracks are not normally used, but both are available for rerouted trains. To the south of the station, the four tracks merge into two tracks and there is a connection to the Coney Island Complex. As of 2013[update], the Manhattan and Coney Island express tracks have been replaced with new track beds and new third rail protection boards.
History
The station opened on June 22, 1915, as part of an expanded Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company operation to Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue.[2] Between 2001 and 2005, the station was known as Gravesend – 86th Street when N trains originated/terminated here while the Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue terminal was reconstructed. Some destination signage continues to use this name.
This station, along with eight others along the Sea Beach Line, is scheduled for a rehabilitation starting in 2015.[5] The Manhattan-bound platform at this station was closed on January 18, 2016, with an expected reopening in spring 2017.[6]
