Avenue X is a local station on the IND Culver Line of the New York City Subway. It is the southernmost three-track station on the line. South of this station, the line is reduced to two tracks as it runs to Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue. Alongside the southbound side of the station is the Coney Island Complex, and there are two track yard leads south of this station.
The full-time mezzanine at 86th Street and Avenue X has two staircases to the street, and one staircase to each platform. There was a second mezzanine that was abandoned and removed years ago, but little evidence of it remains. The platform stairs are narrower today than they were when the station first opened. The width is more than two feet shorter than normal at the top half of each staircase.
The southbound side has an exit-only staircase at platform level that was used primarily to direct customers to the F shuttle bus to Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue when it was closed for reconstruction from September 2002 to May 2004, and this station was used as a terminal.
