Honestly, when you act like a spoiled toddler, an indignant claim that you only act like a spoiled toddler around me kind of falls flat. Because, you know, you're acting like a spoiled toddler at all.

Has anyone here ever ventured into the closed Woodhaven station on the LIRR Atlantic line? I used to pass it all the time and it seems like its in pretty good shape.

Yes, the "typical debates" are you and your fellow nutters throwing tantrums because someone posted facts you don't like or arguments you can't dispute.

Most other regulars can handle it just fine.

He's not the only one who left. Today's regulars can handle it because "today's regulars" are the people who didn't leave because they got sick of it— meaning, the nutters who spew bullshit, like you and your pal Chris, and the people who find the nutters vaguely amusing like me and Selkirk.

I,ve posted on this before.the reason the station was built to IND specs.is because in 1937 the lirr wanted to abandon all service west of Jamaica and sell it to the city for conversion for subway use.this is from a 1937 long island press report on the subject.the atlantic branch was supposed to connect to the A train in the vicinity of lafayette ave.this was told to me by old time BOT/t.a.workers around 1964.

The problem with keeping the entire Fulton St el running was that most of the structure was unable to hold heavyweight steel cars. Only the portions between Nostrand Av and Hinsdale St and Grant Av to Lefferts were strong enough for steel cars, one part having been rebuilt and the outer portion being entirely new dual contract construction. Although it might have been cheaper in the long run to rebuild the entire length of the Fulton El to dual contract specs, the mindset of the city at the time was to build as few el structures as possible and build subways, so the more desirable alternative was to replace what many downtown Bkln merchants felt was an eyesore over Fulton St.

I don’t exactly think that was the reason that Woodhaven Blvd was tiled IND style. Since it was the city building that portion of the LIRR, it was merely state of the art of subway station ornamentation to tile stations in that manner. That is the same reason that 14/8, Fulton and Broad Sts were tiled IND style. The city built those stations and since they were contemporary with the IND that was the type of tiling that was state of the art for NYC subway construction at the time.

i like that station on so many levels...the fact that it was on the only lirr branch where not only does each station not resemble any other station on the branch but each station uses a completely different design philosophy: the underground downtown multitrack terminal design of flatbush terminal (yeah, i know, atlantic terminal..screw that, it's flatbush terminal. nuff said.), the elevated-in-your-face nostrand ave., the oddball street level but with subway tunnels at both ends east new york, and finally, the commuter railroad station that thinks it's a stop on a "super-express" subway line, woodhaven. i like the utilitarian (at least to my railfan minimalist design of it. i like the location in woodhaven also. it would have been a cool place (to my railfan mentality anyway) to end a trip from oakdale or farmingdale...especially if it was a snowy night.(the railfan mentality thing again)

I agree....it's always been an interesting line. It's a shame woodhaven is closed.

It was rebuilt from just east of Franklin to Atlantic....and then as you said, east of grant. It's too bad they couldn't somehow incorporate that section into an Atlantic subway using the LIRR. Using the cranberry tube and a subway connection to Flatbush Ave....and a connection around Franklin to the LIRR from the rebuilt portion of the Fulton El to Atlantic. If this was subway.....the Rockaway line also connecting to this subway at woodhaven. It seems like such a waste.....perfectly good rebuilt dual contract structure (built identically to the Broadway el, used for just about 20 years. Such a waste.

From what it sounds like it's in much better shape than your average abandoned subway system abandoned station.....but it's hard to confirm as there are very few photos of it available.

re: I just searched Woodhaven LIRR station on Google images, and found the following:

B & W photo of station in revenue service at Joe Breenan's website:

youtube video: Atlantic Avenue Tunnel from a LIRR M3 Front Window
I think the station is passed on the right hand side at about 50 - 60 seconds into the video.
