"Long Island Railroad Tunnel," circa 1852
01
Artifact Overview
Safety concerns in cities sometimes led to the construction of grade separations. Bridges and tunnels kept trains, pedestrians and street vehicles out of each other's way. Long Island Rail Road trains traveled along Brooklyn's busy Atlantic Avenue until this tunnel, running under the street, was built in 1844.
