|- |width=20% align=right|Opened||May 1, 1908 Atlantic Avenue, located at Flatbush Avenue and Atlantic Avenue, is a complex three-platform station, with an island platform between the express tracks, and two side platforms for the local tracks. On the center platform there are two old indicator signs which mark the next train, used for non-rush hour short turn trains. An old style sign to the Brooklyn Academy of Music also exists. The trackway to the Long Island Rail Road is still visible at the north end of the northbound local track, although much of it is behind corrugated wall; more information about this and other unused trackways is at Bergen Street. The LIRR platforms are clearly visible on the other side of floor-to-ceiling railings.
This station was completely renovated. The northbound local trackway and track have been completely redone with conrete base and welded rail.
A passageway to the BMT Fourth Avenue and Brighton Lines lies under the platforms, with the Fourth Avenue Line to the southwest and the Brighton Line to the northeast.
