Brooklyn - Broadway Junction -- View South - "The Way It Was"
Started in the 19th century, expanded in the early 20th century, still partly in use. The heart of the BMT Eastern District.
The Jamaica / Broadway line is barely visible in the foreground. The 14th Street / Canarsie Line is at the top level, having risen steeply from the tunnel portal at the side of the Terminal Moraine a few hundred yards north. The former Fulton Street Elevated line, now underground, curves in the center at a lower level. One of the flyovers from the Canarsie Line to the Broadway Line is in the left background. The Atlantic Avenue station, with 6 trackways and 3 platforms (since reduced) is in the background along with the former location of a Swingline stapler factory.
This only shows a small part of the many ramps connecting the various lines to each other and all the lines to the transit yard.
Not visible is the Long Island Railroad under the Atlantic Avenue Station and the New York Connecting Railroad next to the former Swingline factory.
