Posted by Mark S. Feinman on Thu Jun 11 09:41:55 2009 Somehow I stumbled onto this link about an abandoned electric car shop that was used to repair LIRR trains under the Atlantic Yards site.I wonder when it was last used. --Mark |

Whatever happened to the plans for the stadium there?Frank Gehry's design has been scrapped in favor of a hangar-like structure from Ellerbe Becket. Atlantic Yards timeline from New York magazine.

It's accessible from the yard lead that diverges from the main tracks. A few more photos of the place:

Shower your praise on devb, not me. :-) I would have posted my own shots, but I lost most of my digital photo collection in an unfortunate RAID failure. I'm still trying to find my tape backups, which should get me up and running again. |
