Nassau St-Jamaica Av Local (Except Peak Direction Rush Hours)<Van Siclen Av
Van Siclen Avenue is an oddie of the J's lines narrow island plaform station's for the two track line, on the oldest stretch of elevated structure that dates to 1885. This is because it's station house is below the middle of the platform, on the south/east side of the elevated line and not just at the one extreme end of the platform. The station is canopied for a decent streach in the middle of the platform. Here their are two staircases down a mezzanine level that lead down to a station house built to the south east side of the tracks. A fence keeps trespassers from walking across the Jamaica-bound platform and onto the roof of the station house. Fare Control is here and and this leads to two staircases down to street level on either side of Van Siclen Avenue just south of Fulton Street. Like this entire streach of line, the station was renovated in 2006-07.
