Evergreen Branch

The Evergreen Branch was a branch of the Long Island Rail Road that ran in Brooklyn, and part of Queens, in New York City. It was inherited as a former segment of the New York and Manhattan Beach Railroad, and ran from Greenpoint, Brooklyn, to what is today Ridgewood, Queens.
==History==
The Evergreen Branch can trace its origins to the Glendale and East River Railroad which was incorporated on March 26, 1874,〔Ron Ziel and George H. Foster, Steel Rails to the Sunrise, ©1965〕〔Interstate Commerce Commission, (Valuation Report: Glendale and East River )〕 to build from Greenpoint, Brooklyn, east to Glendale, Queens,〔, March 2005 Edition〕 and was acquired by Austin Corbin in November 1876, to be integrated into the New York and Manhattan Beach Railroad.〔, April 2006 Edition〕 The line north from East New York to Jefferson Street was built by the NY&MB under the charter of the Brooklyn and Rockaway Beach Railroad (Canarsie Line),〔Interstate Commerce Commission, (Valuation Report: New York, Brooklyn and Manhattan Beach )〕〔, June 2006 Edition〕 which gave its right to construct an extension to Hunter's Point to the NY&MB. The rest from Jefferson Street to Greenpoint was built by the G&ER and leased by the NY&MB.〔 This extension beyond East New York to Greenpoint opened at the beginning of the season on May 16, 1878. In 1883, the standard gauge connection from Cooper Avenue Junction to the Montauk Division at Fresh Pond was built and the lines to Manhattan Beach from Cooper Avenue Junction and Bay Ridge were made standard gauge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=EVERGREEN BRANCH )〕 The Evergreen Branch remained narrow gauge until 1884. During the years 1883–1885 a shuttle ran connecting at Cooper Avenue Junction with every Long Island City train.〔 In 1886, Greenpoint service was abandoned, and supposedly there is no trace of service to the west of South Side Crossing, and a Bushwick shuttle was instituted, which ran through the 1894 season.〔 In 1896–1897 the right of way between Greenpoint and South Side Crossing was abandoned.〔
Upon the dissolution of the Manhattan Beach Branch in 1924, the line became a freight spur between the Bushwick Branch and Bay Ridge Branch in Brooklyn. Eight blocks of tracks were removed on February 9, 1939. The following crossings were closed on that date: Himrod Street; Stanhope Street; DeKalb Avenue; Hart Street; Suydam Street; Willoughby Avenue and Starr Street.〔 Further dismantling took place between 1957 and 1962, and throughout much of the late-20th Century. In 1965, when New York State purchased the Long Island Rail Road, the Bay Ridge and Evergreen Branches remained part of the Pennsylvania Railroad.〔 Subsequently, they became part of Penn Central, and then Conrail.〔 In 1984, the Long Island Rail Road again took over the Bay Ridge Branch but decided to abandon the Evergreen Branch and its sole consignee.〔
