Neptune Avenue, originally named Van Siclen, is a station on the Culver Line, and the only intermediate stop that isn't shared with other lines that has only two tracks. The station has a single island platform to serve this function, and the station was completely rebuilt when it was closed from 2002 to 2004 for the Coney Island Terminal Reconstruction project, with subway service replaced by the special F Shuttle Bus. This means it has the design features of a modern elevated station.
About half of the station's platform is exposed to elements, with tiny windscreens beneath the Neptune Avenue Station signs, four of witch have stained glass artwork inside of them. The middle of the platform there is a canopy, beneath this canopy two staircases lead down to doors into the stations small headhouse area, that is nestled beneath the tracks and where a single bank of turnstiles, as well as a High Exit Turnstile to provide faster access to the east side of the street. Exit staircases lead down to eitherside of West 6th Street, just south of its intersection with Neptune Avenue.
