Euclid Avenue is an express station on the IND Fulton Street Line of the New York City Subway, located at the intersection of Euclid and Pitkin Avenues in East New York, Brooklyn. It is served by the A train at all times and is the southern terminal for the C train at all times except nights. During nights, this is the northern terminal for the Lefferts Boulevard shuttle from Ozone Park, Queens.HistoryEuclid Avenue was part of a four-station extension of the Fulton Street subway along Pitkin Avenue, past its original planned terminus at Broadway–East New York. Construction of the extension began in 1938, with construction on the section of the line between Crystal Street and Grant Avenue that included the Euclid Avenue station and the Pitkin Yard beginning in late 1940. Construction of the station was halted in December 1942, and the station remained an incomplete shell during World War II that could not be finished because of material shortages from the war effort. At the time, the station was over 95 percent complete. Construction resumed on the extension in November 1946. The delay meant the station received different design features than the rest of the stations along the line, including a slightly different tile job, fluorescent lighting instead of then-standard incandescent lights, and improved restroom and phone booth facilities. The station also featured modern interlocking technology, known as the "NX" system.
