Train Yards and Layups

THE J YARD

The J Yard is located at Broadway Junction and Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn on the LL and J lines. It is home to Js, Ms and LLs. It is divided into two levels. The upper level frequently housed trains that were permanently out of service. The lower level was more frequently used by writers. Ironically the Eastern Parkway station wasalso home to a police station. Its presence never seemed to deter writers. The Burger King fast food restaurant located behind the yard became a before and after pit stop for many writers. Police quickly became aware of this and attempted to use it to their advantage and often surveilled the restaurant.
