The 4th Avenue/9th Street Station. It's a station on the old Independent Subway System line, servicing the F and G trains. This and the Smith Street Station are situated on the Culver Viaduct, an elevated section of track spanning the Gowanus Canal. Completed in 1938, the Culver Viaduct was the only elevated portion of the IND. At its highest point, it rises to 90 feet (27.4 m) above grade. It was built to this extreme height to accommodate the tall ships which used the Gowanus at the time, as it was deemed too expensive to tunnel below the canal.
