Halsey St (J) - The SubwayNut

Halsey St is a typical Broadway (Brooklyn) elevated renovated local station, it has two side platforms with the middle express track bypassing it. It is currently a J only station, skipped by all 'Z' trains.

The station has one open exit at the eastern end of the station platforms. A single staircase leads down from each platform at nearly the eastern end of each platform down to a small station house below the tracks. From here exiting passengers can use High Exit Turnstiles on intermediate landings, or enter the station house, all entering passengers must use the turnstiles inside the station house. From here two streetstairs lead down, one to each side of Broadway at the SW corner of Halsey Street, and another across the street from here just east of Weirfield Street.

The other, western end of each platform has a former entrance/exit, now turned into just emergency exits with staircases gated off, it had the same layout as the original station house, with two streetstairs still visible (and closed) down to each side of Broadway, just east of the T-intersection with Jefferson Avenue.
