I think you are thinking of the Myrtle and Hudson (5th Ave.) el grade crossing. They had a collision there very early in the operation which shut both lines down for several months.

The Myrtle el between Jay and Broadway was built by two different operating companies at two different times, but differing not by much, many changes occurred in that intersection between 1885 and 1891.

Looking at Grand and Myrtle now, you wouldn't know how much activity there was there at one time. Must've been a nightmare living over there then with all the heavy construction going on.
