Underneath East New York
August 24th, 2007 -
A 1914 tunnel runs under East New York, Brooklyn, along a section of the Bay Ridge freight line seen in two previous posts, here and here. This tunnel, a grade crossing elimination about one mile long, travels underneath the tangled tracks of Broadway Junction, where the LIRR meets several MTA trains. It is pitch black inside, home to an abandoned train station and empty freight cars. One entry is guarded by a massive junkyard rottweiller, while the other end is active with homeless visitors.
