The station has six tracks and two island platforms. The two innermost tracks are used by Fourth Avenue express trains, which skip the station, while the four outer tracks are used by Brighton Line and Fourth Avenue local trains. The track configuration has been arranged several times. The current configuration dates from a 1956–1961 reconstruction project to straighten the platforms and eliminate a level junction north of the station, which had caused a switching bottleneck. Other plans, such as connections to the BMT Fulton Street Line and IRT Eastern Parkway Line, were considered at times.
