It had two levels. The lower level was served by local trains and had two tracks and two side platforms. It was built first. The upper level was built as part of the Dual Contracts and had one track that bypassed the station and served express trains. In 1924, the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation built the 14th Street-Eastern District Line Subway below the station, which included the Third Avenue subway station. Although this station was located above the Third Avenue BMT subway station on what is today known as the BMT Canarsie Line, the two stations were never connected. This station closed on May 12, 1955, with the ending of all service on the Third Avenue El south of 149th Street.NYCTA Notice of Third Avenue Rail Closure for May 12, 1955 References External links http://www.nycsubway.org/lines/3rdave-el.html 3rd Avenue El nycsubway.org 2009-01-25 https://web.archive.org/web/20090127041419/http://nycsubway.org/lines/3rdave-el.html 27 January 2009 live http://www.stationreporter.net/3avl.htm Third Avenue Local Station Reporter 2009-01-25 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20100609061601/http://www.stationreporter.net/3avl.htm 2010-06-09 Category:IRT Third Avenue Line stations Category:Former elevated and subway stations in Manhattan Category:Railway stations in the United States opened in 1878 Category:1878 establishments in New York (state) Category:1955 disestablishments in New York (state) Category:Third Avenue Category:14th Street (Manhattan) Category:Railway stations in the United States closed in 1955
