Beverley Road station
The Beverley Road station is a local station on the BMT Brighton Line, located over a private right-of-way at Beverly Road between Marlborough Road/East 15th Street and East 16th Street in Brooklyn, New York. It is served by the 1 and 7 trains at all times, and has two side platforms and four tracks.
The original station at this location was opened around 1900 as a two-track street-level side platform station running south from a grade crossing at Beverley Road. The station was established to serve the then-new upscale planned community of Prospect Park South. The current station house and below-grade platforms were completed at the end of 1907, and have been on the National Register of Historic Places since 2004.
On August 1, 1920, a tunnel under Flatbush Avenue opened, connecting the Brighton Line to the Broadway subway in Manhattan. At the same time, the line's former track connections to the Fulton Street Elevated were severed. Subway trains from Manhattan and elevated trains from Franklin Avenue served Brighton Line stations, sharing the line to Coney Island.
