36th-38th Street Yard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike most other yards in the NYC transit system, the 36th Street Yard is not normally used for either storage layups or revenue-service train maintenance. Its primary function is for the storage of diesel and electrically powered Maintenance of Way and other non-revenue-service rolling stock. 36 Street Yard was once the center of the south Brooklyn Railroad which extended from Bush Terminal, through the 39th Street Yard, then down Gravesand Avenue and into Coney Island Yard. One of the primary functions of this yard today is transferring trash from garbage collector trains to trucks via platforms inside the yard just south of 37th Street.
