Thanks for 400 Subscribers!
To help celebrate I decided on making a special urbex video for fun.
Me and my friends decided to explore the LIRR’s old Bay Ridge Branch, but to be more specific we explored the East New York Tunnels and old East New York Station that hasn’t been used in about 96 Years!
The Bay Ridge Branch is currently only used for Freight and MTA C-Division service and around the area of the tunnels only used 1 track.
The track we went down is unused and safe to walk along and the video I got with the L train being very close was thanks to a broken part of the fence barely big enough to squeeze my phone in and get a shot.
It was fun and easy exploring these tunnels especially in the snow and with my friends!
And one more big thanks for 400 subscribers!!! It may not seem like much but for me it means the world!

Very cool. As a kid in the mid 70s, my brothers, other kids from the neighborhood and l would play round up, combat there and walk the tunnels often. Nothing but fun. Happy to know someone still finds them interesting.

Triboro Rx needs to happen Awesome video btw finally a perspective of the East NY Station

I spent my childhood on those tracks growing up in Brownsville. It's amazing how this video brings me right back to when I was a kid.

In the 60's this was 2 track overhead electrified and used several times daily. Multi-Unit New Haven electric's pulled heavy freight to from the north over Hell's gate. Ran to and from the 65th Street Rail Yard and over to the Greenville Yard in Jersey City.

This used to be catenary?

@whereisthedollar Год назад

@@mozeki yep

@mozeki Год назад

@@whereisthedollar Wow, never knew that. If there is ever a day this line gets passenger service again via interborough express; I will fly back out to NY just to ride it at least once end to end. I saw these tracks my entire life and always thought it was the gift our predecessors gave us but was taken away without thought for the next generation. The answer to long commute times is literally in NYC's back yard.

That connects the subway to the LIRR. I was it in a DJ hammers video where the TGC from the subway used that track to get to the LIRR. Nice video!!!

Do you have a brain? With what money? All the money we have is going to illegals. All public services are being cut for the freeloaders.

@jonathanng2390 2 года назад

The station was abandoned in 1924. It served the LIRR's Manhattan Beach branch.

@MTAProdigy 2 года назад

So you're telling me it's possible to access the abandoned train station at East NY without no issues?! If so, that would be amazing. You earned another subscription and hope you can reach 1000 soon, nice video.

@agr804 2 года назад

Thank you I highly appreciate your kindness and encouragement and yes it’s totally accessible many ways to get onto the entire branch itself but I’ll leave it to all the fellow explorers to find out how as I think that’s the fun in finding hidden places!

The freight tracks also run north under Van Sideren Ave, the dividing line between East New York and Ocean Hill/Brownsville sections of Brooklyn.

@mingkee27 3 года назад

I noticed there's a track going along with L and I saw NYAR freight once at 3 Junius Street (L Livonia), so it's likely the tunnel is part of the line

Informative context for the IBX

@botmes4044 Год назад

The MTA should use the current disused platform for their future Interborough Express. This tunnel was originally built with 4 tracks, but the easternmost track has since been blocked off with masonry walls, which could be knocked down to restore the tunnel.

@danielb3293 3 года назад

Lmfao I go there all the time its really nice when u hit midwood part where there’s lots of open space and places to chill

@killerwaverdancecompany9864 3 года назад

So is this the lower level of the east New York station upstairs of the Atlantic terminal branch ?

@LJB1031 2 года назад

No. This is part of the Bay Ridge branch of the NYAR. Many years ago (about 100), the LIRR ran passenger service along here.

Those tracks are not abandoned its still used by freight trains

@agr804 3 года назад

As stated in the description 📚

@stevenroshni1228 Год назад

In the UK it takes an act of paralimant to allow a station/line to close, so the operators have one trip a week. This line has several trains a day, yet people refer to it as "abandoned".

@meachpieters4023 3 года назад

Do the mta employees on the N or L train care if they see you on those tracks?

@Railoffroader2 2 года назад

Although both are owned by the parent company MTA, the subway employees have no jurisdiction over LIRR right of way trackage. Besides it’s separated by a fence for same reason.

@@agr804 DAMN; As a 10-year old, all those times our family drove out to Queens in Atlantic avenue, I thought the Bay Ridge branch went OVER Atlantic avenue; I was confusing it with the Rockaway branch all that time.... All I presently have are satellite map views; from what I see, this branch comes awfully close to the Myrtle avenue terminal at Metropolitan avenue; if so, then the technology chosen should be the same heavy rail arrangement as the subways, as a junction could be installed in that area.
