caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Bahnhof Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, nach 1910. Als die IRT ihren Tunnel unter dem East River hindurch gebaut hatte, waren die Brooklyner Hochbahnen schon über zwei Jahrzehnte in Betrieb. An der Atlantic Avenue Ecke Vierte und Flatbush Avenue endete 1908 die heutige IRT Eastern Parkway Line und traf neben der Long Island Railroad auch auf die Hochbahn Fifth Avenue Line der BRT. Von dort aus ging es weiter zum Brooklyner Hafen oder an den Strand des Atlantik nach Coney Island. Die BRT hat gerade einige ihrer Cabriowagen (Convertibles) mit halboffenen Seitenwänden im Einsatz. Zur U-Bahn geht es über das kleine Häuschen. Die Rundbogenfenster im Hintergrund rechts gehören zum Bahnhof der Lon Island Railroad. English: Atlantic Avenue station in Brooklyn after 1910. When the tunnels beneath the East River were completed by the IRT in 1908, the Brooklyn Els were in service already more than 20&#160;years. At the corner of Atlantic, Fourth and Flatbush Avenues, today's IRT Eastern Parkway Line ended and saw a connection to the Long Island Railroad as well as to the elevated Fifth Avenue Line operated by the BRT. This line had two legs running down to Brooklyn harbor and to the Atlantic coast at Coney Island. The BRT is operating a couple of its famous convertible cars with removable side panels. The little building is the IRT subway entrance, reused a hundred years later as a skylight. The arched doors on the lower right belong to the Long Island Railroad Station.

  With nine subway services, this station complex is second to the Times Square–42nd Street/Port Authority Bus Terminal station in offering the most transfers to other services.
  As of 2017, it is the busiest subway station in Brooklyn, with 13,571,093 passengers, and is ranked 21st overall. The control house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980, while the station complex as a whole has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2004, and is ADA-compliant.
context_section_description: The station complex formerly had an elevated portion on the BMT Fifth Avenue Line, called Atlantic Avenue. It was served by trains of the BMT Culver Line and BMT Fifth Avenue Line and had two tracks and one island platform. It was located at Flatbush Avenue and Atlantic Avenue, right above the headhouse for the current complex. It also served the St. Johns Place Line, Flatbush Avenue Line, Third Avenue Line, and Seventh Avenue Line streetcars.
  On June 25, 1923 two cars of a train coming from 65th Street Terminal derailed and fell towards Flatbush Avenue. Eight passengers died and many were injured. With increased use of the subways compared to the elevated lines, and the completion of the unification of the city's three subway systems, the Fifth Avenue Line was closed at midnight on June 1, 1940, and was demolished in 1941.
