Canarsie Line

North = to Delancey Street

South = to Canarsie (pier)

This line is not the same route as today’s L train but rather ran on the Broadway Line (Today’s J line) from East New York to Delancey Street. The track connections are still in place and used for G.O. reroutes for trains ending at Broadway Junction on today’s J line. 

CANARSIE


The Canarsie terminal when opened had three island platforms and four tracks plus 3 yard leads to the east. There was also a loop which extended south past the Baumann's Hotel and was removed in 1915. At some date after 1906 the Easternmost Island platform was removed and a new yard lead was added.(SOURCE: Track Map found by your webmaster.)
