Upper Level
The upper level of this station was originally at Stuyvesant Avenue. When the Myrtle Avenue Elevated opened on April 27, 1888, the station was moved to Broadway to make a transfer to the BMT Jamaica Line possible. The upper-level station contained two tracks and an island platform, with stairs to both of the existing platforms on the lower level. The Myrtle Avenue El was extended to Wyckoff Avenue on July 21. The next stop on the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line to the west was Sumner Avenue until that section of the line closed on November 3, 1969.

Some humble way to save his self-respect.
He added, if you really care to know,
He meant to clear the upper pasture, too.”
