Linwood Street was a station on the demolished BMT Fulton Street Line. It had 2 tracks and 2 side platforms.[1] It was served by trains of the BMT Fulton Street Line. The station was built on February 22, 1892, and served as the eastern terminus of the Fulton Street elevated line for one month. The next stop to the east was Montauk Avenue. The next stop to the west was Van Siclen Avenue. On November 28, 1948, the Independent Subway System built the underground Shepherd Avenue Subway station two blocks east after years of war-time construction delays. This station rendered both Linwood Station and the nearby Montauk Avenue station obsolete, and it closed on April 26, 1956.[2]
