[9][10][11][12] Trains from this station began using the Fourth Avenue Subway to the Nassau Street Loop in Lower Manhattan when that line opened on May 30, 1931.

With the connection completed, all service at the stations on the former BMT Culver Line south of Ditmas Avenue, including this one, were from then on served by IND trains.

[19][20] Express service ended in 1987, largely due to budget constraints and complaints from passengers at local stations.

Express service on the elevated Culver Line was ended due to necessary structural work, but never restored.

[25] Except for small sections at either ends, both platforms have brown canopies with green frames and support columns for the entire length.

Outside of the turnstile bank, there is a token booth and two street stairs going down to either southern corners of 18th and McDonald Avenues.
