History
This station was served by steam locomotives between 1888 and 1899. In 1898, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT) absorbed the Kings County Elevated Railway, and it took over the Fulton Street El, and it was electrified on July 3, 1899.[7] It closed on June 1, 1940,[4] when all service from Fulton Ferry and Park Row to Rockaway Avenue was abandoned, as it came under city ownership.[5] Current rapid transit service at these intersections consists of entrances to the Hoyt Street subway station on the IRT Eastern Parkway Line built in 1908.
