Alabama Avenue is a station on the BMT Jamaica Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Alabama Avenue and Fulton Street in East New York, Brooklyn, it is served by the J train at all times and the Z train during rush hours in the peak direction. == Station layout== This elevated station, opened on September 5, 1885 and renovated in 2006-07, has one island platform and two tracks. The platform has a red canopy with green frames and support columns at the west (railroad south) end. The station's only entrance/exit is an elevated station house beneath the tracks. It has one staircase to the platform at the south end, turnstile bank, token booth, and two staircases facing in opposite directions going down to the southeast corner of Alabama Avenue and Fulton Street. A trackway starts at the top of the station's flat canopy and runs to the elevated complex at Broadway Junction. This may have been for a planned express track above the local tracks of the BMT Jamaica Line that was never completed. This track was intended to be an express track, with work beginning on the proposed express track in the late 1960s. However, engineering studies completed after the work started indicated that the vibration of trains passing over the stations would be too severe and would literally shake the stations apart. A nameless artwork by Scott Redden was installed here in 2008. It consists of three stained glass panels in eight of the nine station sign structures on the platform. The panels depict scenes related to farming including a farmhouse, chicken, and pick-up truck. The street area under the station was depicted in a painting created by artist Rackstraw Downes, titled "Under the J Line at Alabama Avenue, 2007." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alabama Avenue (BMT Jamaica Line)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
