Sutphin Boulevard (BMT Jamaica Line)

Sutphin Boulevard was a station on the demolished section of the BMT Jamaica Line of the New York City Subway. It had two tracks and two side platforms, with space for a third track in the center. This station was built as part of the Dual Contracts. It opened on July 3, 1918, after the Atlantic Avenue Rapid Transit service was eliminated from Jamaica Station, and closed on September 10, 1977, with the Q49 bus replacing it until December 11, 1988. The next stop to the north was 160th Street. The next stop to the south was Queens Boulevard. It was closed in anticipation of the Archer Avenue Subway, and due to political pressure in the area.
