Troy Avenue was a station on the demolished BMT Fulton Street Line. It had 2 tracks and 2 side platforms. It was opened sometime during the middle of 1888, and served by trains of the BMT Fulton Street Line. Sometime between 1912 and 1924, the nearby Albany–Sumner Avenues station was closed due to the Dual Contracts addition of a third track between Nostrand Avenue and Hinsdale Street. Commuters from that station were redirected here. It was served by BMT 13 trains throughout its existence.
The next stop to the west was originally Sumner Avenue, and then replaced by Tompkins Avenue. In 1936, the Independent Subway System built their own Fulton Street Subway but did not install a subway station at Troy Avenue. The nearest subway stations to replace the el station were Utica Avenue to the east and Kingston and Throop Avenues to the west. It closed on May 31, 1940.
