The Atlantic Yards, Part Two

April 25, 2007 -

This second set of photographs from the Atlantic Yards development site moves deeper into the Long Island Railway tunnels underneath Atlantic Avenue. This train yard, its tunnels, an abandoned train repair shop and large parts of the surrounding neighborhood may soon be covered by a massive new development. Additional photos from the Vanderbilt Railyards can be seen here, and in this set of photos from the abandoned Electric Car Shop.

These photographs are from inside the Atlantic Yards site in Brooklyn. This train yard, its tunnels, a train repair shop and large parts of the surrounding neighborhood may soon be covered by a massive new development. Though demolition has begun on surrounding buildings, the proposed project is still being protested by neighborhood groups such as Develop, Don't Destroy Brooklyn, while the official site of this development is here.
