Montauk Avenue was a station on the demolished BMT Fulton Street Line. It had 2 tracks and 2 side platforms.^[3] It was served by trains of the BMT Fulton Street Line. The station was opened on March 21, 1892, and was the eastern terminus of the Fulton Street Line until 1894, when the line was extended to Grant Avenue. On November 28, 1948, the Independent Subway System built the underground Shepherd Avenue Subway station two blocks south, then three blocks west after years of war-time construction delays. This station rendered both Montauk Avenue station and the nearby Linwood Street station obsolete, and it closed on April 26, 1956.^[4]
