NEW YORK CITY HEAVY RAIL
Broadway Junction

Broadway Junction.  There is amazing complexity of switches, tracks and elevated structures in the area.  Jamaica traffic continues straight ahead in this view.  The overpass carries the L Line, the 14th St.-Canarsie Local.  A major transit yard is nearby, adding its own connections on the trackage heading down to ground level.

Once upon a much busier time, before the IND usurped Fulton St., that street's elevated line was also part of the nearby transit mix.  It must have been a glorious area (and era) for train-watching.
