At Franklin Avenue and Fulton Street, where the Fulton Street Elevated (closed 1940) has given way to the IND Fulton Street Line, a large station was constructed with modern conveniences, elevators and escalators, providing an easier transfer between the shuttle and the IND line.
The Franklin Avenue Line was part of the original main line of the Brooklyn, Flatbush and Coney Island Railway or Brighton Beach Line, later known as the BMT Brighton Line.
For the summer excursion season of 1924, the Franklin Avenue Line was upgraded for the operation of six-car subway trains, and assigned the BMT number 7.
