Looks like Fort Hamilton Parkway on the D. I go out that way a few times a year. The angled streets (Fort Hamilton Parkway itself and New Utrecht Ave + the small park is why I think so.

Never any such surface trackage there excepting directly under the West End El.

The ROW looks to be largely obliterated, except maybe for that strip/driveway starting at Liberty Pole Blvd.

Strike that...you can still make out pieces of the ROW north and south of that point, if you look at the property lines. Interesting.

You're dealing with people who know way too much about every place where rail was laid in NYC. :-)

That I did not know. I see that in fact, I wasn't quite right- it's 18th Ave. But the El running at an angle is a major clue that it's the West End Line. I guess those little parks might exist at quite a number of locations along that route.

I used to order from Pizza Den at least twice a week.

You see this intersection/area very well in the Steven Seagal movie from 1991, Out For Justice.

We may be a little (or a lot) crazy, but this is the best NYC area train site anywhere!!!

Very True...I know I'm dealing with the big boys! However, another "challenge" will be forthcoming.

The West End surface line ?

Could have been, I'm not sure.
