62nd Street/New Utrecht Avenue is a New York City Subway station complex shared by the open-cut BMT Sea Beach Line and the elevated BMT West End Line. It is located at New Utrecht Avenue and 62nd Street in Brooklyn, in the neighborhood of Bensonhurst, and is served by the D and N trains at all times, as well as by some W trains during rush hours.
Prior to the rebuilding of the two current subway lines at this location during the second decade of the 20th century, this location was known as Bath Junction. Until that time, there was a track connection between the lines, primarily to enable Sea Beach trains to and from Coney Island to access West End Line trackage to reach the Brooklyn Bridge and the Park Row elevated lines terminal in downtown Manhattan.
This entire station complex, along with eight other stations along the Sea Beach Line, is undergoing rehabilitation with 4 ADA-accessible elevators, which began in 2015. The transfer between the two stations is closed from November 27, 2017 until August 2018 for the installation of elevators with an out-of-system transfer being provided.
Bath Junction was located near the present site of the station. It took the name as a railroad junction of the New York & Sea Beach Railway (Sea Beach Line) with the Brooklyn, Bath Coney Island Railroad (West End Line). The NY&SB called the station at the junction Bath Junction, while the BB&CI called it Sea Beach Junction. Soon, however, they settled on the common name. Bath Junction was located at grade near the current intersection of New Utrecht Avenue and 62nd Street.
