[VIDEO] The Abandoned Remains of Brooklyn’s Forgotten Elevated Subway Route

This video delves into the forgotten history of Brooklyn's Fulton Street Elevated, focusing on the Atlantic Avenue Elevated station in East New York. Once a crucial transfer hub, it connected the Canarsie and Fulton Elevated lines with the underground Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) Atlantic Branch. Over decades, starting in the 1940s, this once-robust infrastructure was progressively decommissioned, with the Fulton Elevated replaced by the IND subway and many tracks removed or left unused, leaving the station in a state of decay. The video provides historical aerial views and current footage, showcasing the desolate platforms and the remnants of its former grandeur, as well as an abandoned LIRR substation in the vicinity. Despite its blighted appearance, there's discussion of potential future reopening with the proposed IBX route.
