The Montauk Avenue station was a station on the demolished BMT Fulton Street Line in Brooklyn, New York City. It had 2 tracks and 2 side platforms.{{cite web | url = http://stationreporter.net/fultonel.htm | title = Fulton Street Elevated Line | publisher = StationReporter.net | date = February 14, 2011 | url-status = dead | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20130408045756/http://stationreporter.net/fultonel.htm | archivedate = April 8, 2013 }} It was served by trains of the BMT Fulton Street Line. The station was opened on March 21, 1892, and was the eastern terminus of the Fulton Street Line until 1894, when the line was extended to Grant Avenue. On November 28, 1948, the Independent Subway System opened the underground Shepherd Avenue Subway station three blocks west after years of war-time construction delays. This station rendered both Montauk Avenue station and the nearby Linwood Street station obsolete, and it closed on April 26, 1956.{{cite web|title=First Leg of Rockaways Transit Opened at Cost of $10,154,702|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1956/04/30/94293042.pdf|website=The New York Times|accessdate=June 29, 2015|date=April 30, 1956}}
