New Utrecht Avenue / 62nd Street is a New York City Subway station complex shared by the open-cut BMT Sea Beach Line and the elevated BMT West End Line. It is located at New Utrecht Avenue and 62nd Street in Brooklyn, in the neighborhood of Bensonhurst, and is served by the D and N trains at all times. Prior to the rebuilding of the two current subway lines at this location during the second decade of the 20th century, this location was known as Bath Junction. Until that time, there was a track connection between the lines, primarily to enable Sea Beach trains to and from Coney Island to access West End Line trackage to reach the Brooklyn Bridge and the Park Row elevated lines terminal in downtown Manhattan. This entire station complex, along with eight other stations along the Sea Beach Line, is scheduled for a rehabilitation starting in 2015 with 4 ADA-accessible elevators.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Two elevators coming to the N line during massive rehabilitation )〕 == History == Bath Junction was located near the present site of the station. It took the name as a railroad junction of the New York & Sea Beach Railway (Sea Beach Line) with the Brooklyn, Bath Coney Island Railroad (West End Line). The NY&SB called the station at the junction ''Bath Junction,'' while the BB&CI called it ''Sea Beach Junction.'' Soon, however, they settled on the common name. Bath Junction was located at grade near the current intersection of New Utrecht Avenue and 62nd Street. The junction included a switching track connecting the two lines, so that NY&SB trains might reach the Brooklyn Bridge via the BB&CI tracks. Both lines merged with the BMT Culver Line at Ninth Avenue and later the BMT Fifth Avenue Line and BMT Myrtle Avenue Line. After both lines were rebuilt as rapid transit lines of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, the name Bath Junction was dropped. A connector was no longer necessary, as the West End Line was able to reach Manhattan on its own, and was not even realistic to plan, as one line dropped into a cut and the other became elevated. The multi-level station complex was created to allow passenger transfer between the two lines. 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「New Utrecht Avenue / 62nd Street (New York City Subway)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
