Anyone recently
have their car stolen? Apparently, the Bushwick branch makes a great
dumping ground for these "suspect" vehicles. At least whoever dumped
these cars didn't dump them on the tracks.
Thick brush
lines the right-of-way. An old siding is being covered with plant
life. Humans may change the earth by building infrastructure on it,
but if infrastructure is abandoned, the earth is quick to reclaim the land.

Tracks and rails are in good condition at this location.
A close-up
view of the switch mechanism. Along the branch, all of the spur and
siding switches are manual.
Although it
might appear as if it did, the line did not become two-tracked in this
area. The track to the right leads to a siding, as the track to the
left is the Bushwick mainline.
