Forgotten New York

NEW LOTS AVENUE STATION, East New York

The New Lots Avenue station is the eastern end of the line for #3 and #4 IRT trains. This view, from NYC Subways’ 1980s collection, shows a pair of graffitied rolling stock idling in the station waiting for their citybound run to begin.

Note that in the 1980s there were still a good number of enamel signs around, dating back to the 1910s and 1920s, but the Unimark signs employing Standard and Helvetica fonts were about to claim total sovereignty.
