The Brooklyn, Bath and Coney Island Railroad was the first steam railroad to Coney Island. Rail transportation to Coney Island had been available since 1864. In addition, it is one of the largest elevated transportation terminals in the world. Geographically, the station is the southernmost terminal in the New York City Subway system. The station is located at the corner of Stillwell and Surf Avenues in Coney Island, the site of the former West End Terminal. The station has seen many service patterns throughout its history, and was completely renovated from 2001 to 2004. Opened in 1919–20, the large facility was designed at a time when Coney Island was the primary summer resort area for the New York metropolitan area, with all of the rail lines in southern Brooklyn funneling service to the area. It is the railroad-south terminus for the D, F, N, and Q trains at all times and for the train during rush hours in the peak direction.Ĭoney Island–Stillwell Avenue has eight tracks and four island platforms, with trains entering from both compass north and south.
