Queens Boulevard station
New York City Subway station in Queens (closed 1985) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Queens Boulevard station was a local station on the demolished section of the BMT Jamaica Line in Queens, New York City. 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.[6] It opened on July 3, 1918,[3] and was closed in 1985 in anticipation of the Archer Avenue Subway, and due to political pressure in the area. The next stop to the north was Sutphin Boulevard, until it was closed in 1977 and Queens Boulevard became a terminal station.[7] The next stop to the south was Metropolitan Avenue.
