Smith–Ninth Streets is a station on the New York City Subway's IND Culver Line. It is located over the Gowanus Canal between Ninth and Tenth Streets in Gowanus, Brooklyn. It is served by the F and G trains at all times.
With an elevation of 87.5 feet, this station is the highest in the system; this elevation was required by now-defunct navigation regulations for tall-mast shipping on the Gowanus Canal. The bridge rises straight up on 4 towers by cables, but is only occasionly raised. This station and the next station south, Fourth Avenue, were the only original elevated stations built by the Independent Subway System (IND); all other IND stations were built underground or taken over from original owners.
This station is a local station, with two side platforms and four tracks. The local tracks are used by F and G trains, with the express tracks used by two peak direction F express trains
