The far south end of the Manhattan-bound platform of the Bay Ridge Avenue BMT station, under 4th Avenue and Bay Ridge Avenue in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn This platform is much wider than the Brooklyn-bound platform, as it was intended to be the Manhattan-bound express trackway had the station been expanded to four tracks to facilitate a Staten Island river tunnel. Note the six lonely columns at this end of the station; this was likely where the platform was extended to make it 600+ feet long.
