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.

Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or level:
“The thirst for powerful sensations takes the upper hand both over fear and over compassion for the grief of others.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Nihilism as a symptom that the losers have no more consolation: that they destroy in order to be destroyed, that without morality they no longer have any reason to “resign themselves”Mthat they put themselves on the level of the opposite principle and for their part also want power in that they compel the mighty to be their hangmen. This is the European form of Buddhism, renunciation, once all existence has lost its “meaning.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
