Classon Avenue (pronounced KLAW-sun by local residents) is a station on the IND Crosstown Line of the New York City Subway. It has a crossover. This station has a provision for a middle track, between the current two tracks. This trackway was built for the IND Second System. The middle trackway was to serve short-turn trains. Leaving this station, the extra trackway space abruptly ends. The station once had a full length mezzanine. Only the northern half of the former full-length mezzanine exists. The south side, mostly likely leading to Grand Avenue, is now closed. The boarded-up staircases and a fence that closes up a large area of darkness, are the evidence of the former southern half of the full-length mezzanine.
