Bay 50th Street is a station on the BMT West End Line of the New York City Subway, located at the intersection of Bay 50th Street and Stillwell Avenue in the Gravesend neighborhood of Brooklyn. It is in front of the campus of John Dewey High School and has been adopted by its students as part of the New York City Transit Authority's Adopt-a-Station Program.
This station has two side platforms and three tracks, the middle of which is not in revenue service. It opened in 1917 as part of the West End elevated structure, which was built by the BMT as part of the Dual Contracts expansion in the 1910s. Platform extensions dating back to the 1960s are visible to the north on the northbound platform and to the south on the southbound platform, providing views of the Coney Island Complex. Track leads from the West End Line to the Coney Island Complex are located both north and south of this station. An abandoned tower is located above the center of the northbound platform; it has been replaced by a modern tower, about 20 feet to the south. South of this station the center track merges with the other two tracks.
Bay 50th Street was the starting point of the classic chase sequence in the 1971 movie "The French Connection".
