Broadway Junction has been Brooklyn's busiest subway station for over a hundred years. Six lines converge in East New York to service the outer-lying neighborhoods of New York's largest and most populous borough; the A, C, J, L, and Z. Most of the station rises above the streets on steel girders.
To the north the Jackie Robinson Parkway runs through miles of cemeteries.
The J train proceeds east to the unsheltered Alabama Avenue station.
The L train heads to stations unknown by most New Yorkers.
Canarsie–Rockaway Parkway is the terminus of the tracks and a trolley once continued south the the Canarsie Pier.
A long time ago.
To the east the L train dives underground on the journey to Manhattan.
The platforms were wintry last week.
But now it's spring.
Even at Broadway Junction.
