Welcome to the Coney Island Rapid Transit Car Overhaul Shop, also known as the Coney Island Complex! Get ready to explore the largest rapid transit yard in New York State and one of the biggest in all of North America. Situated in the vibrant borough of Brooklyn, New York, this impressive facility spans a whopping 74 acres (300,000 m2) and is bustling with activity around the clock.
Dating back to its establishment in 1926, the Coney Island Complex was ingeniously constructed on what was once marshland, with Coney Island Creek acting as a natural divide between Coney Island and the rest of Brooklyn. This location holds historical significance, as the area was initially earmarked for a ship canal and port facility.
Today, this remarkable site serves as a thriving hub for the maintenance and overhaul of rapid transit cars. Its expansive premises accommodate various operations that keep the city's transit system running smoothly day and night. From intricate repairs to comprehensive refurbishments, the dedicated team at the Coney Island Complex ensures that New York's subway cars are in top-notch condition.
