The Abandoned Railroad at the Brooklyn Navy Yard

Описание: Here's an in depth look at the extensive railroad that used to run through every corner of the Brooklyn Navy yard, along with the two rail-related transit projects that once uses these grounds.

This talk is a subset of one I gave for UntappedCities (available in their webinar archive), and is based off my "Brooklyn Navy Yard: Beyond The Wall" book. (Available here: http://LTVPress.com )
