- 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.
the mta should bring back the old rockaway line
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.
Triboro Rx needs to happen
Awesome video btw finally a perspective of the East NY Station
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?
@@mozeki yep
@@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.
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.
Cool man I found an abandoned LIRR M3 train set in a railyard
In queens right
@@danielb3293 , that's now gone! I remember that train from the Colin Ferguson train massacre in 1993!!
Same
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!!!
The station was abandoned in 1924. It served the LIRR's Manhattan Beach branch.
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
That tunnel entrance was used for a scene in "GOTHAM".
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.
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!
Wow it’s crazy seeing you here bro. :)
Went there 2 months ago.
The freight tracks also run north under Van Sideren Ave, the dividing line between East New York and Ocean Hill/Brownsville sections of Brooklyn.
Well captured, well edited too - liking and subscribing with Bell! \m/
Those tracks are not abandoned its still used by freight trains
As stated in the description 📚
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".
That is very creepy. Especially when I saw the graffiti at 3:42
So is this the lower level of the east New York station upstairs of the Atlantic terminal branch ?
No. This is part of the Bay Ridge branch of the NYAR. Many years ago (about 100), the LIRR ran passenger service along here.
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.

Good video of old an abandoned tunnel interesting!
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
Nice Video!! Would love to see the Fresh Pond station as well!!
Informative context for the IBX
It looks like it was converted to freight for short time and now they don't use it for anything but yeah that's not good
!!!!!Thank You!!!!
Went there a few times with friends
Just trying to figure out where this sits in connection to East NY station
Right under it
Song's pretty dope. What's the name of it?

Appreciate you putting this phottage out there. Are these same tracks that come out of Rust st in Middle village? Do they still run Freight through those tracks?
You were walking on the remnants of the Manhattan Beach Railroad.
How do I get here tho? Like what area is it?
Yeah but how did you guys go in, im really interested
The tunnels in East New York end in Bushwick? I think you might mean Brownsville.
this line is sick how did you get there?
The Bay Ridge branch did NOT run under the A / C lines; it went under the N / R lines....
You must be stupid
@@agr804Look; I've been away from Brooklyn for the better part of fifty years already----where I lived, the Bay Ridge branch went under the N /R lines under 4th avenue (with the subway being carried over the tracks on its own bridge)....
@@user-dj7wv5ok2x the bay ridge branch goes as far as bushwick. It goes under the A/C line at EAST NEW YORK
@@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.
I know this is somewhere near Liberty ave, but where exactly. btw an episode of Law and Order was filmed here.
Curious myself is this still accessible? Did many abandon station never llir. Subway only. Might be worth the trip. Went ti Sedgwick and anderson. Abandoned platforms. Half platforms at best
That’s were supposedly they’re gonna put the IBX
Do the mta employees on the N or L train care if they see you on those tracks?
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.
N doesn’t go to east New York
@@Reaper0305 you do realize those tracks go from bay ridge to East New York right?
@@BrianGomez8888 uhm yea the abandoned tracks not the N. Go look on the map and see where east New York is and tell me the N goes there 🤦♂️
@@Reaper0305 I trying to say that those tracks run along side the N Idoit
Cool video I always wanted to see what was inside the tunnel and how long it was. Thanks for the video. Did you have special permission to be down there?
Lol probably not
The 7 thumbs down are the hipsters that moved in
5:50 AMOGUS (look on the roof of one of the tunnels)
That line will never be put back into passenger service.
Kathy will sooner be thrown into the Hudson. 🤠
It's Not abandoned its owned and run by the NY & Atlantic Railroad like once a day to 65th St Bay Ridge and back also real bad area
Read
The
Description!!!
Thank you.
@@agr804 kept expecting crackheads with Glocks in that neighborhood You must not be from around here
@@thomasabramson100 welcome to New York. Not just East New York.
@@thomasabramson100 that’s pretty ironic of you to say that considering you are just saying stereotypes of ENY🫢
Good dry location for nyc homeless.
No just no
