After 1950, when the LIRR abandoned the line south of here, the NYCTA took it over, using it as an extension of the Fulton St subway in Brooklyn, The A train. That line used the old BMT Fulton St el structure out to Lefferts Blvd. A connection was built to the old LIRR just beyond Rockaway Blvd, where the subway line gained the LIRR right of way. This is the point where the subway took to the LIRR, seen from the abandoned Long Island right of way near Liberty Av. |
