NYCS IRT EasternPkwy AtlanticAve

Atlantic Avenue station in Brooklyn after 1910. When the tunnels beneath the East River were completed by the IRT in 1908, the Brooklyn Els were in service already more than 20 years. At the corner of Atlantic, Fourth and Flatbush Avenues, today's IRT Eastern Parkway Line ended and saw a connection to the Long Island Railroad as well as to the elevated Fifth Avenue Line operated by the BRT. This line had two legs running down to Brooklyn harbor and to the Atlantic coast at Coney Island. The BRT is operating a couple of its famous convertible cars with removable side panels. The little building is the IRT subway entrance, reused a hundred years later as a skylight. The arched doors on the lower right belong to the Long Island Railroad Station.
