We bring back our Brooklyn Back in the Day feature for a look at the old Flatbush Avenue Terminal which used to be the Long Island Railroad Station at Flatbush and Atlantic Avenue that stood where Bruce Ratner’s Atlantic Terminal Mall is now located. The view, which is from a website called Arrt’s Arrchives, dedicated to the Long Island Railroad, offers a treasure trove of photos of the terminal and the area. The view above is from 1941. The exterior shot below is from 1978 and the interior shot is from the 1980s.
