History Edit

This opened on July 28, 1906 as a replacement for a former station along a steam dummy line known as the Brooklyn and Rockaway Beach Railroad.

The station was rebuilt twice: in the 1970s and in 2005. The latter renovation cost $9.66 million.[6]

Site of former grade crossing at the station

This grade-level station has three tracks and a narrow island platform. The platform, which only has one single-sided bench, serves the middle track (Manhattan-bound) and northern one (Rockaway Parkway-bound). The southernmost track is a stub-end track that leads to the Canarsie Yard.[7]

The only grade crossing of the subway system was located at where East 105th Street crossed the Canarsie Line.[8] It was located at the site of the current station house. The crossing was eliminated on August 5, 1973. [9][10][11] The grade crossing elimination was part of the construction of the Flatlands Industrial Park.[12]

The MTA still lists the station being at Turnbull Avenue, a dirt road which once ran along the tracks but no longer exists.[13] A part of Turnbull Avenue, directly northeast of the station, is still extant as a driveway that runs to the southeast of the line from Stanley Avenue/East 108th Street to just short of the East 105th Street station's station house.[14]

The artwork here is called Crescendo by Michael Ingui. Installed during a 2007 renovation, it consists of stained glass windows near the staircases.[15][16] The renovation also resulted in a short canopy being installed above the platform. There is a substation just south of the station.[17]

Exits Edit

The station's only exit and entrance is via a station house directly above the platform and tracks at their extreme east (railroad north) end. A staircase from the platform goes up to a waiting area, where a turnstile bank provides access to and from the station. Outside fare control, there is a token booth and two staircases, each going down to both dead-ends of East 105th Street.[18]
