jacsnyy Posted August 22, 2008 Share #3 Posted August 22, 2008 I've noticed tracks under Brighton (I think) before. So, I'm gonna just guess; Abandoned LIRR tracks underneath Avenue H? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Local Posted August 22, 2008 Share #4 Posted August 22, 2008 Avenue H Station; Thats looking under the Manhattan Bound Platform. The Track underneath is for the NY & Atlantic Railway. This track also runs underneeath the at Avenue I, the New Utrecht Av-62 St Station, and runs parallel with the between New Utrecht to 8 Av, then runs to the water via the Brooklyn Army Terminal. On the other end, I know it crosses over Atlantic Av, and runs next to the / Trains near Livonia Av-Julius St. After that, I belive somehow it connects with Sunnyside Yards?

That is indeed Avenue H and that indeed is the NY & Atlantic Railway. I've noticed tracks under Brighton (I think) before.

metsfan Posted August 23, 2008 Share #7 Posted August 23, 2008 This company also delivers rolling stock & MOW stuff for use by (NYCT), (NJT) and amtrak. It is currently the only way to get stuff onto long island without passing through manhattan, where diesels are a no-no unless dual mode. - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
