Sumner Avenue was a station on the demolished section of the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line. It had two tracks and one island platform. It was closed on October 4, 1969, after a fire on the elevated structure. The next stop to the north was Broadway (still in existence, though inactive). The next stop to the south was Tompkins Avenue.
