This open-cut station opened on June 22, 1915.[2] It has four tracks and two side platforms, but the two center express tracks are not normally used. The Coney Island-bound track has been disconnected from the line and the Manhattan-bound track is signaled for trains in both directions. Both platforms are carved within the Earth's crust and made of concrete. They have beige walls and blue-green columns and the station signs are in the standard black plates in white lettering. There are also some non-working old lights and 1960s-era benches.
This station has one entrance/exit towards the east (railroad south) end. Two staircases from each platform go up to an enclosed concrete crossover before a set of doors lead to the waiting area of the stucco and tile station house. Outside the turnstile bank, there is a token booth and a set of doors leading to the east side of the 20th Avenue overpass/tunnel above the platforms and tracks.
By September 2013, the Coney Island-bound tracks had been replaced with a new trackbed and rubber board protection. 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]
