Culver Depot
Culver Depot or Culver Terminal was a railroad terminal on Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City, United States, located on the northern side of Surf Avenue near West 5th Street.
The depot was built c.1875 to serve trains on the Prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad, popularly known then and now as the Culver Line after its founder and long-time president, Andrew Culver.
After the introduction of electric trolley cars on the Culver Line, trolleys and elevated railway trains both used the station, with the trolleys accessing loop tracks to the west of the elevated train platforms. In 1904, the Brighton Beach Line extended its tracks to access Culver Depot from Brighton Beach to the east. Brighton trains left the station in 1919 to use the new elevated structure to the new Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue terminal. In 1920 Culver trains also used the new terminal and Culver Depot continued in use only for streetcars and freight.
The site of Culver Depot is now occupied by some housing project, specifically the Brightwater Towers and Trump Village West.
