There is a lot of history in regards to the closed off lower level. At one time it emerged as the Culver line to Coney Island . It ran parallel to 37 st then down mcdonald ave on the existing el where the F train runs. El trains from the old 5th ave el ran there until 1940. Also BMT trains from Chambers st ran to Coney Island . After the IND took over the mcdonald ave el in 1954 it eventually evolved into a single track one train shuttle between 9th ave lower & Ditmas ave. the last train ran in 1975 and the el was torn down. Today houses stand where the el ran next to 37 st.

it sucks to be at the mercy of just one train, and it gets so packed from the surrounding blocks even though the closest D is a few blocks away. It isn't handicapped accessible either, with no ramps nor elevator to get to the tracks. All I had to struggle with was groceries, I can't imagine being at the mercy of this station if you're handicapped. It's kept somewhat in order but the doors are always open which makes it freezing in the winter. The station masters are always kind though but I've found this to be the case with most MTA station masters.

9 Avenue is located in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn, the station is served by the D train at all times and the occasional rerouted N train. Located in the only open cut on the D train which is also where garbage trains layup, 9th Ave used to be the terminus of the Culver shuttle, which stopped service in the 1950s, hence why there is an unused, abandoned platform on the lower level. The station is quite gritty, and does not smell plasent sometimes.

Es una buena estación pero siempre que vas ena mañana o revisas la hora de llegada del tren nunca llega a esa hora o ni bien llegan ya se ponen en marcha cuando son 6:56am y se supone que de debería llegar ese tren a 7:00 am pero no da tiempo de espera y se marcha enseguida y es estresante ya que se debe esperar otros 10 minutos, mejoren eso muchas gracias

I saw a guy but as naked in the subway recommended him to me and he was like I don’t know what to do with myself but I was like I don’t know how to do it I don’t know why I just don’t know what I should do with myself …

one of the many very urban scenic above ground stations that South East Brooklyn has just so many of. Renovations of the station make it even better. Great place to take pictures or get a glimpse at a city sunrise.

One of the more cinematically fascinating subway stops in Brooklyn, with a phantom (still used by work trains) lower level, decidedly outdoor vibe, and proximity to a busy yard where garbage trains are always busy.

A great looking clean station with 2 Island platforms and 3 tracks. There's an "abandoned" lower level, which is maintained for structural integrity. You can see work trains from this station.

The station isn't always the cleanest and there is no wheelchair accessibility whatsoever. There are regular delays/schedule changes during the weekends as well.

Primera vez que uso esta estación, y tiene un olor apestoso. First time I use this station, and it has a stinky smell.

An okay train stop. Has a view of the MTA work equipment and near by track layout, if you have an interest for that.

Mediocre subway station. Not an express stop, which is frustrating. Right next to the B35 bus, which can be useful.

Ground level subway station. Very busy, but the area can be shady at night.

Not enough train. Some time have to wait for 3 train in order to board

Almost all the time the I found D train being late this time here...

Enjoy seeing work equipment from time to time no elevator …

Quite interesting how this station used to have a lower level.

Great place to work and have a great beverage and snacks.

Nice and interesting station with lower level locked up

Los mejores tacos de Brooklyn a la salida del tren.
