New York City Subway station in Brooklyn, New York
Albany–Sumner Avenues was a station on the demolished
BMT Fulton Street Line. It had 2 tracks and 2
side platforms.
[3] It was served by trains of the
BMT Fulton Street Line. The station was opened on May 30, 1888, and had connections to the
Sumner Avenue Line streetcars. Eastbound trains stopped at Albany Avenue, while westbound trains stopped at Sumner Avenue (now
Marcus Garvey Boulevard). The next stop to the east was
Troy Avenue. The next stop to the west was
Tompkins Avenue. During 1912 and 1924, the
Dual Contracts program installed a third track on the Fulton El between
Nostrand Avenue and the new
Hinsdale Street station. Albany-Sumner Avenues stations were closed during that time.
[4]
[5] In 1936 the
Independent Subway System built an underground
Fulton Street subway station at
Kingston–Throop Avenues between here and the nearby Brooklyn–Tompkins Avenues Station.

[7] The el station became obsolete.
