Classon Avenue (pronounced /klɔːsɪn/ KLAW-sin by local residents) is a station on the IND Crosstown Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Classon and Lafayette Avenues on the border of Bedford–Stuyvesant and Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, it is served at all times by the G train.
This underground station opened on July 1, 1937, as part of the extension of the Crosstown Line from Nassau Avenue to Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets. This station has two side platforms and two tracks with space for a center track. Both platforms have a light green trim line on a darker green border and name tablets reading "CLASSON AVE." in white sans serif lettering on a dark green background and lighter green border. There are small "CLASSON" directional signs in white lettering on a black background beneath the trim line and name tablets. Dark blue i-beam columns run along both platforms at regular intervals with alternating ones having the standard black station name plate in white lettering.
The space for an additional center track between the two outer ones was meant for the unbuilt IND Second System. It would have been an extension of the center track at Bedford–Nostrand Avenues, which dead-ends on either side of that station. Railroad south of Classon Avenue, the two tracks curve closer to each other and the center trackway ends.
