Located at the intersection of Atlantic and Snediker Avenues at East New York, Brooklyn, it is served by the L train at all times.

This station is one of the most well-preserved examples of the Dual Contracts architecture, as much of the period woodwork and ironwork is intact.

The stop lies directly above the Long Island Rail Road's East New York station, which is located in the median of Atlantic Avenue.

Plans for the Interborough Express, a light rail line using the Bay Ridge Branch right of way, were announced in 2023.

The easternmost platform was closed to train service in September 2003 and has been demolished except for a small portion that remained intact.
