Prospect Park is an express station on the BMT Brighton Line of the New York City Subway. Located at Empire Boulevard and Flatbush Avenue in Flatbush, Brooklyn, near the border of Crown Heights, Prospect Heights, and Park Slope, it is served by the Q and Franklin Avenue Shuttle trains at all times and the B train on weekdays. ==Station layout== |- |style="border-left:solid 2px black;border-right:solid 2px black;border-bottom:solid 2px black;" align=center colspan=2|Island platform, not in service |- |style="border-bottom:solid 1px gray;"|''Southbound local'' |style="border-bottom:solid 1px gray;"|→ No regular service |} This open cut station has four tracks and two island platforms. Both platforms have red canopies with green frames and support columns that run for the either length. Alternating columns have the standard black station name plate in white lettering. At the north end of the station, the two express tracks, used by B and Q trains, ramp down into a tunnel under Flatbush Avenue parallel to the IRT Eastern Parkway Line before merging with the BMT Fourth Avenue Line at DeKalb Avenue while the local tracks curve to the northeast and become an open cut after a short tunnel towards Franklin Avenue. The platforms are split into two sections at this end separated by a beige concrete wall. The Franklin Avenue Shuttle terminates on the northbound local track while the southbound one is not normally used in revenue service. South of the station, there are crossovers and switches as the Brighton Line becomes a four-track corridor to Ocean Parkway. B trains stay on the express track and run to Brighton Beach; Q trains switch to the local track and run to Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue. The 1994 artwork here is called ''Brighton Clay Re-Leaf'' by Susan Tunick. It features ceramic tiles in both station entrances/exits that depict leaves to symbolize Prospect Park. This artwork is also at Parkside Avenue.〔(Artwork: Brighton Clay Re-Leaf (Susan Tunick) )〕 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「Prospect Park (BMT Brighton Line)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
