It is served by the ' train at all times. The ' train bypasses it when it operates.Station layoutThis is the northernmost station in Brooklyn on the BMT Jamaica Line. The next stop, 75th Street – Elderts Lane, is in Queens.The original Cypress Hills station, opened on May 30, 1893, had two tracks and one island platform and was located along Crescent Street, reaching the cemetery. This station was the terminal for the Jamaica Line when it opened. It formerly had an island platform and stub-end located directly along Crescent Street just south of Jamaica Avenue that can still be seen approaching the cemetery east of the station. The rebuilt station was constructed under the Dual Contracts and was opened on May 28, 1917. The rebuilt station has two tracks and two side platforms. The removal of the island platform resulted in a space between the tracks. This space would allow for an express third track, but one was never built. Both platforms have beige windscreens and green canopies with brown roofs that run along the entire length.Just west of this station are two sharp curves that trains must navigate at less than 15 mph. For this reason, a train must take more time to transverse this section than other sections of the line.
