Talk:Cobble Hill Tunnel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In metro it says:
- In 1850 the Long Island Rail Road bricked over the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel (which had been an open cut), carrying its line for about 500 m under the streets of Brooklyn (now part of New York City). Although sometimes called the "world's oldest subway tunnel", this had no stations and was used for long-distance as well as suburban trains.
Does anyone know when the tunnels on the New York and Harlem Railroad were made tunnels (if they were open cuts)? --SPUI (talk) 00:22, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- 1872–1876, according to Joe Brennan. Choess 14:50, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
