When this station opened on July 10, 1919, the BMT Broadway Line had ended north of this station as six trackways. Both the innermost and outermost pairs of trackways curved slightly west before ending, which were a provision for the line to run to Upper Manhattan via Central Park West. Only the two center tracks on either side continued to the 60th Street Tunnel to Queens. Both of the outermost trackways are ramps which have never been used, but the innermost tracks eventually connected the express tracks with the BMT 63rd Street Line, which was completed in 1989. Prior to then, the express tracks continued as layup spurs north of the station, running for about 400 feet (120 m). Construction of the 63rd Street Line from 1971 to 1978 continued the section between this station and the Lexington Avenue–63rd Street station.
